Message:: [QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3973743, member: 19463"]I always found it interesting that Geta coins of the time he was issuing in parallel to his father and brother tend to be different types and, often, just a bit more interesting compared to the other two.  I would love to know what input each person exercised over the type selection for their coins.  In the beginning both boys had the same types but as their hatred grew it seems like they insisted on the other not being allowed to use 'their' types.  I really (!) would like to be that fly on the wall that got to hear what Septimius and Domna had to say about the way their boys were growing into men.  When Septimius told them to get along with each other, had he no clue whatsoever that the end would play out as it did?
