Commentary
Il ne semble pas que Lucille ait conservé son droit de figurer sur les monnaies après la mort de Lucius Vérus en 169.
It does not appear that Lucille retained her right to appear on coins after the death of Lucius Verus in 169

Historical background
LUCILLA
(+182)
Augusta
Born in 149, Lucille was married by her father to Lucius Vérus in 164. She may have received the title of Augusta in 161. After the death of her husband in 169, she married Pompeianus, an old senator, friend of Marcus Aurelius. When Commodus succeeds his father, he honors his sister, but Lucille plots against him. She was exiled to Capri, then executed in 182.
