<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bart9349, post: 1619018, member: 5682&quot;]Nice coin and nice piece of history.</p><p><br /></p><p>The history behind Lucilla is a tragic one. She was forced into two marriages of political convenience (including one to co-Emperor Lucius Verus) to much older men by her father, Emperor Marcus Aurelius. When her first husband (co-Emperor Lucius Verus) died, she lost her status and power as Empress. With her father&#039;s later death, she lost her status as Emperor&#039;s daughter. She didn&#039;t lose her quest for power, however, and she was involved in a plot to supplant her deranged brother (Commodus) with her second husband. That did not end well.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucilla" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucilla" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucilla</a></p><p><br /></p><p>That Commodus was a real freak. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojN06GP50K4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojN06GP50K4" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojN06GP50K4</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Knowing the history behind the coin makes both the coin and history come alive.</p><p><br /></p><p>guy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
