Description: | This is a Roman copper alloy Dupondius of Lucius Verus (AD161-169). The obverse has the radiate head right with the reverse depicting Mars advancing right, bearing spear & trophy.The coin is in very poor condition and may have a core of a different base metal, thus this may be an unoffical (though contemporary) copy. The overall patina is dark green with considerable degradation of the rim, removing much of the legend.Ref: RIC 1382.
