He was made co-emperor with Caracalla after their father’s death in 211 CE, but the relationship between the brothers was notoriously hostile. Their joint rule was marked by tension, with Geta largely confined to a separate palace and denied real power. Within the same year, Caracalla ordered Geta’s assassination in the palace, and his memory was subjected to \u003ci\u003edamnatio memoriae\u003c\/i\u003e, an official condemnation that sought to erase him from public records and monuments. Despite his short and tragic life, Geta’s death exemplifies the brutal struggles for power within the Severan dynasty. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eObverse: Bare-headed and bearded bust of Geta, draped, facing right, with the legend around. \u003cbr\u003eReverse: Genius or Bonus Eventus standing facing to the left, sacrificing from a patera over an alter and holding ears of corn, with the legend around. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications: \u003cbr\u003eEmperor: Geta (209-211) \u003cbr\u003eComposition: Silver \u003cbr\u003eWeight: Approx. 3 g \u003cbr\u003eDiameter: 19 mm \u003cbr\u003eMint: Rome","brand":"Colonial Acres Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51803412955425,"sku":"AC-0380","price":237.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/1744\/7457\/files\/AC-0380.jpg?v=1757688574","url":"https:\/\/www.colonialacres.com\/products\/ac-0380-ancient-rome-208ad-s7187-geta-as-caesar-silver-denarius-au55","provider":"Colonial Acres Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
