My new addition to the collection is Geta denarius with Nobilitas reverse. As I see on net, Severus Alexander has this reverse (RIC 290), Commodus (NOBILIT AVG P M TR XII IMP VIII COS V P P, RIC 155), Philip I (NOBILITAS AVGG, RIC 8) and Tetricus II (NOBILITAS AVGG, RIC 244). Geta, AR Denarius, (18-20 mm, 3.40 g). Rome, 200-202 AD. Obv. P SEPT GETA CAES PONT, Draped bust right. Rev. NOBILITAS, Nobilitas standing right, holding sceptre and palladium. RIC 13a. Post your Geta's or nobilitas reverses.
Very nice, @gogili1977 ! Expressive portrait. Here's one minted at about the same time. Geta as a thirteen-year-old: Geta as Caesar. AR denarius, 3.24 gm, 18.3 mm. Rome, AD 202. Obv: P SEPT GETA CAES PONT, bare-headed and draped bust, r. Rev: SECVRIT IMPERII, Securitas enthroned l., hoding globe. Refs: RIC-20; BMC-240; Cohen-183; Sear-7200; Hill-553.
Nope, no Nobilitas anywhere in my collection! Thanks for posting the coin @gogili1977 Lol, now this one’s reverse looks noble... GETA: RI Geta AR Denarius 209-211 CE On horse spearing enemy RIC IV 72
I love Geta's little kid denarii. I have the same type; one of my first purchases after I decided to get serious about collecting Romans
I don't have a Geta Nobilitas but this is the Philip I antoninianus from the officina (6) numbered series. Me, too. This Geta has four.
While I have no "Nobilitas" reverses, I do have "little kid" Geta, ~11-12 years old as he was probably born 7 March, AD 189 in Milan. Geta as Caesar, AD 198-209, AR Denarius Mint: Rome or Laodicea struck AD 200 Obv: P SEPT GETA CAES PONT, Bare headed, draped and cuirassed bust right. Rev: VICT AETERN, Victory flying left, holding open wreath over shield on base Ref: RIC 101 Size: 3.28g, 19.3mm and one from about the same time of his sweet, <1 year older sibling born 7 March, AD 188 in Lugdunum. AD 197-217 he was a man of many names, he started out as Septimius Bassianus, after 195 his name was changed to Marcus Aurelius Antoninus and later his favorite Gallic hooded cloak earned him the name Caracalla. AR Denarius, AD 200, Rome mint Obv: ANTONINVS - AVGVSTVS, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Caracalla right. Rev: PONTIF - TR P III, Sol (Caracalla?), radiate, naked except for cloak over left shoulder, standing front, head left, holding globe in extended right hand and spear in left hand Size: 2.79g, 18.4mm Ref: RCV 6857, RIC 30a
Nowhere near as stunning as the OP coin but an interesting piece of the same type struck in base metal (or perhaps billon) - I’m guessing it is a limes denarius
I have a NOBILITAS type on my pages of reverse types unique to a particular emperor: http://augustuscoins.com/ed/unique/unique3.html#NOBILITAS You might enjoy seeing if you can recognize the emperor associated with various reverse types. For example, this reverse is on that page: Do you know who issued it? Click on the link to find out. http://augustuscoins.com/ed/unique/PANNONIAE.html
