Caracalla killed Geta in December 211. As far as I know, this is the only coin that shows both boys that was issued after the death of Septimius. There are several from their younger years when dad was promoting brotherly love. I discovered there is a coin dated year 18 using the same obverse die so I doubt many were made in that period.
