Bought this coin this month at HJB. Even though the reverse is flatly struck I like Geta's portrait, who was murdered at the age of 22 either by his brother Caracalla or by Caracalla's centurions. Homonoia either seated or standing, holding a patera (libation bowl) over a flaming altar and a cornucopia or scepter, represents civic harmonyHowever, it doesn't seem to apply for poor Geta.
