Two roman sestertii coins of emperor Lucius Verus and his wife empress Lucilla. They married in Ephesus in 164 A.D. Lucilla spent much of her time i #rome while her husband was out campaigning against enemies of the roman empire. The marriage lasted for only five yeares with the death of Lucius Verus. Both coins are in good quality with lovely portraits. Lucilla is portrayed by Connie Nielsen in the film ”Gladiator” by Ridley Scott. #romancoins #romancoin #sestertius #royalcouple #empress #emperor #ancientcoins #ancientrome #romanhistory #spqr #romanempire #ephesus #portraits #portrait #historicalportrait #coincollecting #coincollection #coincollectorsofinstagram #numismatics #numismatic #numismatica #coins #connienielsen #ridleyscott #gladiator #münzen
