Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Geta (SEVERI PII AVG FIL) (203) coin is that it features a rare portrait of the Roman Emperor Geta, who ruled alongside his father Severus II (also known as Severus the African) from 209 to 211 AD. Geta was known for his military campaigns against the Parthian Empire and his efforts to restore peace and stability to the Roman Empire after a period of civil war. The coin's design, which includes Geta's image and the title "AVG FIL" (Augustus, son of the Augustus), reflects his status as a junior emperor and his close relationship with his father.
