And you do not want to count the number of usurpations from that rank!
Lucius Verus was co-emperor with Marcus Aurelius and therefore 'safe'. One must not forget that it was Augustus who started the policy of keeping high-command in the family. And between Augustus and Marcus Aurelius, there was a dangerous number of revolts: Vindex, Galba, Vitellius, Vespasian (all 69 AD and Vindex never made it), Saturninus (under Domitian) and Avidius Cassius under Marcus Aurelius himself.

Greets!
