Interesting fact
The Aureus coin featuring Lucius Verus was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Roman Empire. Lucius Verus was co-emperor with Marcus Aurelius, and their reign was marked by a series of wars, including the Marcomannic Wars, which lasted for several years and had a significant impact on the empire. Despite these challenges, the coinage during this period remained consistent and of high quality, with the Aureus being one of the most valuable coins in circulation.
