Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Aureus coin featuring Emperor Geta is that it was issued during a time of political tension between Geta and his brother, Emperor Caracalla. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of both brothers on opposite sides, highlighting the complex family dynamics within the Roman imperial family during that period.
