"vero" strengthens whatever it attaches to. Sometimes that is agreement, and it means "truly", "indeed" or "really"; often it is a mild contrast with what was just said, and it means "but in fact" or "for his part". Like "autem" and "enim" it is POSTPOSITIVE, so look for it in second place rather than at the head of the clause.
It is the ablative of the adjective "verus", true, doing duty as an adverb, and the neuter "verum" turns up in the same role. Both forms sit in the corpus behind this list. Do not confuse the adverb with the noun "verum", meaning "the truth", or with "vero" as a plain case form of "verus" agreeing with a noun.
