Commentary
Rubans de type 1. Barbe très longue de Géta qui ressemble sur ce denier plutôt à Septime Sévère. Une des dernières émissions du frère de Caracalla.
Type 1 ribbons. Geta's very long beard, which on this coin looks more like Septimius Severus. One of the last issues of Caracalla's brother.

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.
