<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 2128684, member: 31620&quot;]What a coincidence! I was about to post a new Geta that arrived today.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Geta denarius </b></p><p>Obv:– P SEPT GETA PIVS AVG BRIT, Laureate head right.</p><p>Rev:– PONTIF TR P III COS II, Felicitas standing left with caduceus and cornucopia</p><p>Minted in Rome. A.D. 211</p><p>Reference:– RIC 78a. RSC 149</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_068at_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I used to collect the coins of Geta as Augustus but sold the majority of them. I only have the following two left in my collection:-</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Geta denarius </b></p><p>Obv:- P SEPT GETA PIVS AVG BRIT, laureate, bearded head right</p><p>Rev:- VICTORIAE BRIT, Victory, half-naked, standing left, holding wreath &amp; palm. </p><p>Minted in Rome. A.D. 210-212</p><p>Reference:- RIC 92, RSC 219, BMC 68 </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_068ap_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>and my favourite </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Geta denarius </b></p><p>Obv:– IMP CAES P SEPT GETA PIVS AVG, Laureate head right</p><p>Rev:– PONTIF TR P COS II, Geta on horseback riding left, spearing enemy beneath.</p><p>Minted in Rome. A.D. 209</p><p>Reference:– BMC p. 359 17. RIC 68 (Rated Rare), RSC 130. Only 4 examples in RD so quite a rare coin on that basis. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_068ab_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
