<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 3189941, member: 91461&quot;]My understanding is that Geta was much more civilized. While Caracalla was with pops, Septimius, and the troops, Geta was with the Senate and the intelligentsia of Rome. The people loved Geta, hence his brothers jealousy. There is even a story of Crazy-calla riding up on his father in camp attempting to attack him. Caracalla fumbled and then tried to play it off like a joke. But the troops didn&#039;t buy it until Septimius calmed them down. Shepy knew his boy was Michael Myers crazy and so ordered that his sons be co-emperors. This was the first time in empirial history that 2 hereditary co-rulers were instituted simultaneously.</p><p>We&#039;ll never know for sure. But I have to believe that it was a great loss to Rome (and humanity) when Geta was duped into meeting up at mom&#039;s house to &quot;reconcile&quot; things on that fateful day.</p><p>Here are the boys before all that. Just a couple of&nbsp; goofy, chubby cheeked kids. I really like boths patina and similar reverses. One can here Caracalla through the ages saying, &quot;Mom! Tell Geta to stop copying me and get his own reverse!!&quot;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]823225[/ATTACH]</p><p>GETA</p><p>Caespont/Felicitas publica</p><p>[ATTACH=full]823228[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Caracalla</p><p>Felicitas augg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
