Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Geta, who ruled alongside his father Septimius Severus and his brother Caracalla. Geta was known for his diplomatic skills and was instrumental in negotiating peace treaties with the Parthian Empire. Despite his achievements, Geta's reign was cut short when he was assassinated by his brother Caracalla in 212 AD. This coin, minted during Geta's reign, serves as a reminder of his brief but significant impact on Roman history.
