Interesting fact
The Triassaria - Geta coin from Dionysopolis (Moesia Inferior) features an image of the Roman Emperor Geta, who ruled alongside his father Septimius Severus and his brother Caracalla. 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. Despite his achievements, Geta's reign was cut short when he was assassinated by his own soldiers in 211 AD. This coin, minted during his reign, serves as a reminder of his brief but significant impact on Roman history.
