Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features three Roman emperors, Geta, Septimius Severus, and Caracalla, on the same coin, which was a rare occurrence in Roman coinage. This coin was minted during a time of political turmoil, and the inclusion of all three emperors may have been an attempt to promote unity and stability within the empire.
