Quote:Well if you Google Lucius Verus, a full length figure very similar to the top picture comes up in the Bardo Museum. Does that settle it? (Page 3 Google Images).That's our guy, even though he has mysteriously grown a body. Probably, the head doesn't belong to the torso.
Quote:P.S Again on page 3 under Livius.org is a portrait labelled 'Lucius Verus'. I have the same portrait in a book that says it is Marcus Aurelius! Is it the ancient portrait artists who confuse these things or modern commentators?It's an error by Google. It refers to a page that contains photos of several emperors, including both divi fratres.
