EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Lucius Verus (130-169 AD): A Roman Co-Emperor's Regal Portrait in Marble 2. Description: This marble bust, dated back to the 2nd century AD, showcases the enigmatic and powerful visage of Lucius Verus, a Roman co-emperor who ruled alongside his cousin and adoptive brother, Marcus Aurelius, during the Antonine Dynasty. The sculpture, now housed in the esteemed British Museum in London, England, United Kingdom, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and sophistication of ancient Rome. Lucius Verus, born in 130 AD, was a man of great importance in the Roman Empire. He is depicted here with an intricately carved beard, adorned with curls and pleats, which was a fashionable style during the Antonine period. His face, with its strong jawline and penetrating gaze, exudes an air of authority and confidence. The marble's smooth surface, with its subtle yet intricate details, attests to the exceptional craftsmanship of the Roman artisans. The bust's interior reveals the intricate network of channels and voids that were essential for the creation of this masterpiece. These features allowed the sculptor to manipulate the marble, enabling them to carve the intricate details and textures that bring Lucius Verus's portrait to life. This exquisite marble bust serves as a testament to the artistic prowess and cultural richness of ancient Rome. It invites us to explore the history and stories of the Roman Empire, transporting us back in time to an era of great emperors, grandeur, and artistic innovation.
