Commentary


Poids léger. Rubans de type 2. Dans la base TSP maintenue par Michel Prieur, trente-trois exemplaires sont maintenant répertoriés. Curieusement, le type n’est pourtant présent que dans quatre collections de musées, au British Museum (cinq exemplaires), à l’ANS (ex Newell), à Boston (ex Gush Halav Hoard) et à Berne.

Historical background


GETA

(06/198-26/02/212)

Augustus

Geta, born on May 26, 189, became Caesar in 198 and the following year received the title of pontifex. 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.
