He was born and raised in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome" title="Rome">Rome</a>. Verus had another brother Gaius Avidius Ceionius Commodus and two sisters <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceionia_Fabia" title="Ceionia Fabia">Ceionia Fabia</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceionia_Plautia" title="Ceionia Plautia">Ceionia Plautia</a>. His maternal grandparents were the Roman Senator <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaius_Avidius_Nigrinus" title="Gaius Avidius Nigrinus">Gaius Avidius Nigrinus</a> and the unattested noblewoman Ignota Plautia. Although his adoptive paternal grandparents were the Roman Emperor <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadrian" title="Hadrian">Hadrian</a> and Roman Empress <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibia_Sabina" title="Vibia Sabina">Vibia Sabina</a>, his biological paternal grandparents were the consul Lucius Ceionius Commodus and noblewoman Aelia or Fundania Plautia.</p> <p>When his father died in early 138, Hadrian chose <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoninus_Pius" title="Antoninus Pius">Antoninus Pius</a> (86–161) as his successor. Antoninus was adopted by Hadrian on the condition that Verus and Hadrian’s great-nephew <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Aurelius" title="Marcus Aurelius">Marcus Aurelius</a> was to be adopted by Antoninus as his sons and heirs.</p> <p>As a prince and future emperor, Verus received careful education from the famous “grammaticus” <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Cornelius_Fronto" title="Marcus Cornelius Fronto">Marcus Cornelius Fronto</a>. He was reported to have been an excellent student, fond of writing poetry and delivering speeches. Verus started his political career as a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaestor" title="Quaestor">quaestor</a> in 153, became <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consul" title="Consul">consul</a> in 154, and in 161 was consul again with Marcus Aurelius as his senior partner.</p> <p>In the spring of 168 war broke out in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danube" title="Danube">Danubian</a> border when the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcomanni" title="Marcomanni">Marcomanni</a> invaded the Roman territory. This war would last until 180, but Verus did not see the end of it. In 168, as Verus and Marcus Aurelius returned to Rome from the field, Verus fell ill with symptoms attributed to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foodborne_illness" title="Foodborne illness">food poisoning</a>, dying after a few days (169). However, scholars believe that Verus may have been a victim of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallpox" title="Smallpox">smallpox</a>, as he died during a widespread epidemic known as the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonine_Plague" title="Antonine Plague">Antonine Plague</a>.</p> <p>Despite the minor differences between them, Marcus Aurelius grieved the loss of his adoptive brother. He accompanied the body to Rome, where he offered games to honour his memory. After the funeral, the senate declared Verus divine to be worshipped as <em>Divus Verus</em>.</p> </blockquote>http://alcesalces.tumblr.com/post/48019353408http://alcesalces.tumblr.com/post/48019353408Mon, 15 Apr 2013 00:27:43 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7c00xOlMo1r7myi3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://alcesalces.tumblr.com/post/48019312559http://alcesalces.tumblr.com/post/48019312559Mon, 15 Apr 2013 00:27:07 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/584013941f9491125001372a5f16b0ad/tumblr_ml0nbvcmzb1qbp5jho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://adsertoris.tumblr.com/post/47585920535/asian-peafowl-3-by-thomas-motyka">adsertoris</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>asian peafowl 3 (by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/77856872@N08/8340073474/in/photostream">thomas motyka</a>)</p> </blockquote>http://alcesalces.tumblr.com/post/48019264067http://alcesalces.tumblr.com/post/48019264067Mon, 15 Apr 2013 00:26:24 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/1f385ec3953d821bb05315234e8d4f44/tumblr_mkt4s2ltyl1qij426o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://rhamphotheca.tumblr.com/post/47550425391/vurtual-yummy-a-silvery-lutung-trachypithecus">rhamphotheca</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://vurtual.tumblr.com/post/47232104835/yummy-by-prabu-dennaga">vurtual</a>: <strong>Yummy!</strong> - A <strong>Silvery Lutung</strong> (<em>Trachypithecus cristatus</em>) enjoys a green bean snack :3</p> <p>(photo by <a href="http://500px.com/photo/24178953">Prabu Dennaga</a>)</p> </blockquote>http://alcesalces.tumblr.com/post/48019211656http://alcesalces.tumblr.com/post/48019211656Mon, 15 Apr 2013 00:25:37 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbw6ifrzii1qh5vwvo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://alcesalces.tumblr.com/post/48019199085http://alcesalces.tumblr.com/post/48019199085Mon, 15 Apr 2013 00:25:26 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mem2ljyOyE1rp1pulo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://alcesalces.tumblr.com/post/48019186717http://alcesalces.tumblr.com/post/48019186717Mon, 15 Apr 2013 00:25:15 -0400
