ESTP (8w7)
Lucius Verus personality type is ESTP, and I’ve been keeping a secret diary in which I’ve been working for years on my “Verus” persona and my own version of the Emperor’s life.
You see, in the past five years I’ve come to understand that Verus was a real man, and it turns out that he was much more than a mere icon. He was a real individual, and he made much of his own history. (I may well be wrong about this, but I don’t think so.)
He wasn’t the only person named “Verus” in the imperial family. There were three others, but we never hear about them. As far as we know, the other two “Veri” were related to him and shared his name: one was Consul Verus and the other was his brother Caecilius Verus, who was Consul in 170 CE, and who may have been the one who actually killed Pertinax.
But it’s not clear that Consul Verus or Caecilius were somehow related to Emperor Verus.
Lucius Verus (15 December 130 – 23 January 169 AD) (Potter, D. 2009; Emperors of Rome: the story of imperial Rome from Julius Caesar to the last emperor. Quercus. p. 91. Retrieved 11 February, 2020) was the co-emperor of Rome with his adoptive brother Marcus Aurelius from 161 until his own death in 169.
Critics declaimed Lucius' luxurious lifestyle (HA Verus 4.4; Birley, Marcus Aurelius, 129).He had taken to gambling, they said; he would "dice the whole night through" (HA Verus 4.6, tr. Magie; cf. 5.7; Birley, Marcus Aurelius, 129.)
He had a tavern built in his house, where he celebrated parties with his friends until dawn. He also enjoyed roaming around the city among the population, without acknowledging his identity. The games of the circus were another passion in his life, especially chariot racing.
