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..
