Interesting fact
The coin features the image of Geta, who was a Roman emperor who ruled alongside his father, Septimius Severus, and his brother, Caracalla. Geta was known for his diplomatic skills and was responsible for several military campaigns during his reign. Despite his achievements, Geta's reign was cut short when he was assassinated by his brother Caracalla in 211 AD. This coin, which was minted during Geta's reign, is a rare and valuable artifact that provides a glimpse into the life and legacy of this important historical figure.
