A Fine Marble Bust in White & Rouge Marble depictin

A Fine Marble Bust in White & Rouge Marble depicting Lucius Verus,
Italian, Circa 1900
Lucius Verus was co-emperor with Marcus Aurelius, but beyond this imperial partnership, there was also a significant personal connection. Through adoption by the same father, Marcus and Lucius were brothers. Marcus was also father-in-law to Lucius. Being the younger brother, younger partner, and son-in-law to Marcus Aurelius could not have been an easy position in life. Yet, this is the role played by Lucius Verus. He was a well-educated, active participant in military and political affairs. (161-169 A.D.)
Signed & dated "C/R Roma 1902", 34” high 25” wide

Good condition with the exception of normal age wear.
