Very cool, thanks for sharing

 

thanks all/

i have nothing learn about the bust typ/ a pity

 

As Verus, as Augustus, was a de-facto "junior partner" to Marcus Aurelius, it's not at all unusual to find his portraits bare-headed. Laurels were reserved for the "boss" at this time - Caesars and other family members usually went bare-headed in their portraits.

 

Except, of course, for the radiate-crown dupondii.

 

Thanks
