The image showcases a marble statue of Lucius Verus, the Roman emperor who co-ruled with Marcus Aurelius from 161 to 169 AD. Lucius Verus is depicted in his military uniform, a testament to his role as a commander in the Roman army. The statue, a significant historical artifact, is housed in the Vatican City, the spiritual and administrative heart of the Roman Catholic Church and a renowned center for art and culture. The image, part of the Boswell collection, Box 196, is believed to have been captured during the 1890s, an era marked by a renewed interest in ancient Roman history and culture.
