Commentary
Semble complètement inédit et non répertorié pour le type de revers. Manque aux principaux ouvrages consultés, en particulier pour cette légende de droit énigmatique avec la mention d’Aurèle, rare pour le monnayage sévérien, pour Géta, en particulier.
Appears to be completely unpublished and unlisted for the type of reverse. Missing from the main works consulted, in particular for this enigmatic legal legend with the mention of Aurelius, rare for Severan coinage, for Geta, in particular

Historical background
GETA
(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.
