Commentary
Poids très lourd. Ptéryges à peine visibles sous le paludamentum. Sur les monnaies syriennes, le portrait de l'empereur est beaucoup moins stéréotypé que sur les deniers romains ; preuve est que les graveurs syriens étaient capables de rendre les portraits de manière plus expressive et plus individuelle.
Historical background

(06/198-26/02/212)
Caesar
Born on May 26, 189, Geta became Caesar in 198 and received the title of pontifex the following year. He accompanies his father and his brother to Brittany from 208 and is raised to Augustat the following year. When Septimius Severus died in York on February 4, 211, the two brothers brought their father's ashes back to Rome and became co-emperors. But they hate each other. Finally, after a year of joint rule, Caracalla kills his brother in their mother's arms. Geta is dedicated to "damnatio memoriæ" (damnation of memory). His supporters are systematically massacred.
