Ex Vedrines 1998
Lot # 933 - LUCIUS VERUS (161-169). GOLD Aureus. Rome. Obv: L VERVS AVG ARMENIACVS. Bare head right.Rev: TR P IIII IMP II COS II / REX ARMEN DAT. Lucius Verus, in military dress, seated left on curule chair set on raised daïs with standing attendant on either side; before him on the ground below, Armenian king Sohaemus standing left, raising hand to accept crown.RIC III 512 (Aurelius); Calicó 2154.Ex Vedrines, 22-23 October 1998. Lucius Verus was born in Rome in 130 and was the son of Aelius, who had been adopted by Hadrian and died in 138 without ascending to the throne. Antoninus Pius then adopted Lucius Verus, himself an orphan. He was consul in 154 and 161, and reigned alongside Marcus Aurelius from 161, in a form of diarchy that was completely new for the time. This association of power was not desired by Marcus Aurelius, as some historians claim, but was Antoninus Pius who pointed them in this direction. Many historians emphasized a great difference between the two, describing Marcus Aurelius as a wise emperor-philosopher and Lucius Verus as an irresponsible prince, devoted to vice and fond of games and horse racing. However, he proved himself to be a great general. He led several wars, beginning with the Parthian king Vologases III, who was expanding into Cappadocia and Syria. At the end of this first war, Verus received the title ‘Armeniacus’, which can also be read on this aureus, for having shown great valor. In 164, he married Lucilla, daughter of Marcus Aurelius, and the following year he conquered several cities in Mesopotamia, earning the title ‘Parthicus Maximus’, even before conquering Seleucia and Ctesiphon, the two main strongholds of the Parthians. The two emperors celebrated a grand triumph in 166 and both assumed the title of ‘pater patriae’. However, the empire was immediately struck by the plague and a barbarian revolt in the north. The two princes were therefore forced to leave to defend an empire that had been weakened by the plague from invasion. After a grueling series of battles, during his return to Rome, Lucius Verus suffered a stroke and died in Altinum at the age of 42, after eleven years of reign. Despite his bad reputation among some historians, such as Julius Capitolinus, he must have been a good emperor. In addition to his numerous military victories, he studied Latin and Greek grammarians, wrote poetry, and was a good orator. So much so that Antoninus Pius, while still alive, urged Marcus Aurelius to be like him. Condition: Near extremely fine.Weight: 7.19 g. Diameter: 19 mm.
