Lucius Verus at The Scottish National Gallery, Scotland

Albacini's plaster is probably based on one of his own marble copies of the antique original which was formerly in the Villa Borghese, Rome and is now in the Louvre, Paris (also on Scan the World). Verus (AD 130-169) was co-Emperor of Rome AD 161-69 with his adoptive twin Marcus Aurelius. Unlike Marcus, however, Verus was weak and self-indulgent and a poor administrator.   This object is part of "Scan The World".
