Lucius Verus Emperor of the Roman Empire from 161 to 169.
Lucius Aurelius Verus Augustus was the co-emperor of Rome with his adoptive brother Marcus Aurelius from 161 until his own death in 169.

Lucius Verus was the first-born son to Avidia Plautia and Lucius Aelius Caesar, the first adopted son and heir of Roman Emperor Hadrian.

When his father died in early 138, Hadrian chose Antoninus Pius as his successor, on the condition that Verus and Hadrian’s great-nephew Marcus Aurelius be adopted by Antoninus as his sons and heirs.

Lucius Verus married Lucilla - the daughter of his co-emperor Marcus Aurelius - and spent most of his time campaigning alongside Marcus Aurelius, until he died in 169 of either food poisoning or smallpox (the Antonine Plague).

Rome was to be ruled by two emperors for the first time upon the accession of both Marcus Aurelius and Lucus Verus in AD 161, and coins were struck in the name of both emperors. The portrait on this coin is stunning, the detail in every lock of hair clear to see. Providentia ('foresight') stands on the reverse holding a globe and horn of plenty. Verus died in early 169, leaving Aurelius to rule alone. His body was buried in Hadrian's mausoleum in Rome.

This coin is propaganda celebrating the conquest of Parthia (modern Iran). On the obverse he is wearing the title PARTH MAX short for PARTHICVS MAXIMVS (meaning the Greatest victor over the Parthians). Note he is also wearing the title ARM short for ARMENICVS (meaning Victor over the Armenians), as in 163 AD they had captured Artaxata, the capital of Armenia. Marcus Aurelius decided to not take the ARM title as he had nothing to do with it.
