Diameter:20 mmHistory: Geta (Latin:LuciusPublius Septimius Geta, Augustus; 7 March 189 – 19 December 211), was a Roman Emperor who ruled with his father Septimius Severus and his older brother Caracalla from 209 until his death, when he was murdered on Caracalla\'s orders.Geta was the younger son of Septimius Severus by his second wife Julia Domna. Geta was born in Rome, at a time when his father was only a provincial governor at the service of Emperor Commodus.
Conflicts between Geta and Caracalla were constant and often required the mediation of their mother. To appease his younger son, Septimius Severus gave Geta the title of Augustus in 209.During the campaign against the Britons in the early 3rd century CE, imperial propaganda promoted the image of a happy family that shared the responsibilities of rule. Septimius Severus entrusted Julia Domna with the role of Counselor, Caracalla acted as the emperor\'s second in command, and administrative and bureaucratic duties were Geta\'s responsibility. In reality, however, the rivalry and antipathy between the brothers did not abate.
Their joint rule was a failure. Later sources speculated that the brothers wished to split the empire in two halves. By the end of 211, the situation had become unbearable. Caracalla tried unsuccessfully to murder Geta during the festival of Saturnalia. Finally, in December Caracalla had his mother arrange a peace meeting with his brother in his mother\'s apartments, and then had him murdered in her arms by centurions. Following Geta\'s assassination, Caracalla ordered his brother\'s name to be removed from all inscriptions. The now sole emperor also took the opportunity to get rid of his political enemies, on grounds of conspiracy. Cassius Dio stated that around 20,000 men and women were killed or proscribed during this time. (Reference Source: Wikipedia.
