<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 4438046, member: 87200&quot;]Well, I just posted this yesterday, but here is Lucilla followed by hubby Lucius Verus (R.I.P.)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1110064[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1110065[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1110066[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1110067[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Verus was not depicted in Gladiator, as he was already dead. </p><p><br /></p><p>There is a Maximus quoted in the Meditations, but he was not Aelius Maximus...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="6"><b>Maximus was my model for self-control, fixity of purpose, and cheerfulness under ill-health or other misfortunes. His character was an admirable combination of dignity and charm, and all the duties of his station were performed quietly and without fuss. He gave everyone the conviction that he spoke as he believed, and acted as he judged right. Bewilderment or timidity were unknown to him; he was never hasty, never dilatory; nothing found him at a loss. He indulged neither in despondency nor forced gaiety, nor had anger or jealousy any power over him. Kindliness, sympathy, and sincerity all contributed to give the impression of a rectitude that was innate rather than inculcated. Nobody was ever made by him to feel inferior, yet none could have presumed to challenge his pre-eminence. He was also the possessor of an agreeable sense of humour.”</b></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
