It cannot be unique - in fact, I suspect that this is an example of what Curtis Clay had referred as, when referencing a Septimius Severus IMP X Victory type I posted here, as an "under-published" example. In other words, a coin that is known but didn't make it into RIC. Under other circumstances the coin probably would have been struck in larger numbers but for Septimius unfortunately passing away in early February, instead of later in the year - begs the question of why it is so rare for Geta. Another example would be Caracalla, who was murdered on April 8, 217 - perhaps if he had lived longer we would have more examples of his "TRP XX" types -[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
