After 1,800 years, one of Rome’s isolated emperors had been recovered. A statue of Lucius Verus, who ruled Rome along with his adopted brother, Marcus Aurelius, was found in a “cache of looted artifacts.” Finding a statue of Lucius Verus was significant because he was not a major part of Ancient Rome and there was only four other historical evidence found of him. This article reflects upon what we learned in class about historical evidence and how they are important. Because we find historical buildings, arts, statues, and others, we are able to learn about what happened before us and who used to be important. What happened centuries ago still affect us now because that is our base of what we are doing now. Even though Lucius Verus was not a main person who affected the Roman Empire, but the more information we have to deal with, it is better because we learn more. People around the world are trying to discover as many hints from the people that lived centuries before us. Some people do it for a living because finding historical evidence is interesting for them. By the efforts of those people, such as historians and archaeologists, we are able to learn a great deal of events that happened before us.
