Ancient Rome 164AD S 5494 Lucilla Silver Denarius Extra Fine (EF-40)
Annia Aurelia Galeria Lucilla was the daughter of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius and Empress Faustina the Younger. Born around 148 AD, she became empress herself when she married co-emperor Lucius Verus, receiving the title Augusta. After Verus’ death, Lucilla remained a prominent figure in Roman society but grew increasingly concerned with her brother Commodus’ erratic rule. In 182 AD, she was implicated in a failed plot to assassinate him. As a result, she was exiled and later executed. Remembered as both a political player and a tragic figure, Lucilla’s life reflects the perilous nature of imperial power in ancient Rome.
Obverse: The draped bust of Lucilla, bare-headed with her hair waived and fastened in a bun on the back of her head facing left, with the legend around.
