Commentary

Poids léger. Il ne semble pas que Lucille ait conservé son droit de figurer sur les monnaies après la mort de Lucius Vérus en 169. Revers plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Lightweight. It does not seem that Lucille retained her right to appear on coins after the death of Lucius Verus in 169. Reverse rarer than general works suggest
