Bust of Lucius Verus, laureate, cuirassed, right., Lucius Verus seated left on platform, between an officer on his right and a soldier on his left; before him on the ground below, Armenian king Sohaemus standing left, raising his right hand to accept the crown placed on his head by Verus., Splendid aureus, well centred, well struck and with pronounced reliefs, expressing the engraving in every detail. This is also a superb portrait, which shows a conquering attitude in Lucius Verus' look and head position. Finally, this bust is a variant of the RIC III Marcus Aurelius 511, since the RIC notes a draped portrait, whereas here he is only cuirassed. Representing a moment in the history of Rome, with the coronation of King Sohaemus to the throne of Armenia, after Lucius Verus had led his military campaign in Armenia by expelling the Parthians from the territory, and placing him as head of a client state of Rome.
