Commentary
Poids léger. C’est la première fois que nous présentons ce type à la vente qui semble beaucoup plus rare que le revers avec l’aigle.
Lightweight. This is the first time we have offered this type for sale and it seems much rarer than the reverse with the eagle.

Historical background
LUCIUS VERUS
(+02/169)
Consecration of Marcus Aurelius
Exhausted by a life of debauchery and pleasures, Lucius Verus died at the beginning of 169, like his father Aelius, after a short illness. He is immediately deified by Marc Aurèle. Lucille, his wife, will be forced to marry Pompeianus, a collaborator of her father..
