Commentary
Poids léger. Nous avons là un exemple du praenomen Lucius qui dès 200 sera remplacé par celui de Publius. Buste tout à fait exceptionnel avec les ptéryges larges, bien visibles et détaillées, perceptibles de l’autre côté. Ce type de buste fait penser aux aurei des émissions contemporaines. Monnaie non référencée dans les ouvrages de référence. Deux autres exemplaires sont passés à la vente : CNG, Auction 404, lot n° 542 et Leu Numismatik, Auction 26, lot n° 4576.
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.
