Commentary

Poids très léger. Rubans de type 2. La date (l’an 19 au revers) est l’année régnale de Septime Sévère. Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux, seulement trois exemplaires dans l’ouvrage de Ganschow, consacré à la collection Henseler. C’est la première fois que nous proposons un exemplaire à la vente.

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.
