Interesting fact
The Triassaria - Geta coin 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 212 AD. The coin bearing his image is a rare and valuable artifact that provides a glimpse into the life and legacy of this important Roman emperor.
