Verus (gladiator)
Verus was a well-known gladiator during the reigns of the Emperors Vespasian and Titus in the later part of the 1st century. His combat with Priscus was the highlight of the opening day of the games conducted by Titus to inaugurate the Flavian Amphitheatre (later the Colosseum) in AD 80, and recorded in a laudatory poem by Martial — the only detailed description of a gladiatorial fight that has survived to the present day. Both gladiators were declared victors of the combat, and were awarded their freedom by the Emperor in a unique outcome.

Gnaeus Julius Verus
Gnaeus Julius Verus was Roman senator and general of the mid-2nd century AD. He was suffect consul, and governed several important imperial provinces: Germania Inferior, Britain, and Syria. Life Verus came from Aequum in Dalmatia; this has led some experts (such as Géza Alföldy. Anthony Birley, and Werner Eck) to believe he was the son of Sextus Julius Severus (consul 127), but other experts assert Julius Severus was his uncle. He served as tribune in the legio X Fretensis when Julius Severus was governor of Judaea from 132 to 135. That Verus served as a '' tresvir monetalis'', then '' quaestor Augusti'', and was co-opted as an augur; all suggesting that he was marked out at an early stage for a prominent career. Following his achievement as praetor, Verus was ''legatus legionis'' or commander of Legio XXX ''Ulpia Victrix'' in the 140s, which was stationed at Xanten then part of Germania Inferior. He returned to Rome to serve as prefect of the '' aerarium Saturni''; Mireille ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

He was a member of the Nerva-Antonine dynasty.

Marcus Annius Verus (grandfather Of Marcus Aurelius)
Marcus Annius Verus ( 50 – 138 AD) was the paternal grandfather and adoptive father of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, and father-in-law of emperor Antoninus Pius. Biography Verus was the son of an elder Marcus Annius Verus, who gained the rank of senator and praetor. His family originated from Uccibi (modern Espejo) near Corduba (modern Córdoba) in the Roman province of Hispania Baetica. The family came to prominence and became wealthy through olive oil production in Spain. He was close friends with the emperor Hadrian. He was urban prefect of Rome and was enrolled as a patrician when Vespasian and Titus were censors. Verus was three times consul, the first time as a suffect in 97, then as ordinary consul in both 121 and 126.
