<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 160226, member: 6370&quot;]I would say so...just a bit after Septimus Severus died Geta was killed...Although history tends to think of his story as unfortunate and Caracalla as rather brutal for having him killed...It is not out of the question that Geta at that age (and his party) was not trying to do the same to Caracalla.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I love Geta coins on the whole, his portaits on his coins makes one think that he was an innocent child killed by a brute but he was just one year younger than Caracalla and there are many caracalla coins that show him as a young boy as well. Because of his death at 21 you mostly only see child Getas and not ones like this that show him as a young adult (or adult)...he was only co-ruler with caracalla for a few months.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/geta/RIC_0031.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I would think this coin was minted closer to his death though it still names him as Caes while the lower one names him as Aug.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/geta/RIC_0070b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>this is a coin of Caracalla as a child...a favorite in my collection</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.tribalsoup.com/cache/caracalla.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Nice little family collection you have there <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
