the emperor Antonius Pious, on his death bed, declared that he wanted both men to rule as equals. many were shocked by his descion for it was widely accepted that marcus would be his heir. but the senate did as he wished crowning both men as co-emperors thus sharing authority and power, though marcus was by far a more effective and just leader eventually becoming the sole emperor after verus' death while on a war campaign. maybe pious was trying to reinforce the old ways with the duel cousul or mayb he was trying to avoid one man having too much power either way the senate bent to his wisjing creating the co-emperiship

What prompted the Roman Emperor Verus to declare war on the Parthians?
This war was not the result of the Romans declaring war on Parthia. It was the Parthians who started it. Their king, Vologases IV, invaded Armenia, a Roman client state, expelled its king and installed his own. The first Roman response was not by Lucius Verus or Marcus Aurelius (his co-emperor). It was by Marcus Sedatius Severianus, the governor of Cappadocia. He was defeated. After that the Parthians invaded Syria. The Romans sent a senator to fight there. Lucius Verus was only the third man who was sent to lead the fight against the Parthians. It was decided to send him instead of Marcus Aurelius. Ostensibly this was because he was stronger and healthier than Marcus Aurelius. However, a Roman writer suggested different motives.
