AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Roman Empire – Geta (as Caesar, AD 198–209)
Silver Denarius
Catalogue references: RIC 61b; Sear 7188; RIC IV 61b; BMCRE 586; RSC 117; Sear 7188
Date: ca. AD 200–202
Material: Silver
Legal tender: No – Ancient Roman coin; no longer legal tender
Any damage: Light wear consistent with age; no major damage.
Weight: 3.05 g
Diameter: 18.8 mm
Mint: Rome
Obverse
Legend: P SEPTIMIVS GETA CAES
Bare-headed bust of Geta as Caesar, facing right. The portrait is sharp and youthful, typical of early issues during the joint reign of Septimius Severus and Caracalla.
Reverse
Legend: PONTIF COS II
Depicting Geta standing left, holding a patera in his right hand and a scepter in his left. A clear representation of his priestly authority and political status while still Caesar.
Condition
A well-preserved and attractive denarius with a strong portrait of the young Geta. Reverse details are clear, and the inscriptions remain mostly legible. Light, natural circulation wear consistent with age. Pleasant patina and problem-free surfaces.
Notes
Geta was the younger son of Emperor Septimius Severus and served as Caesar before briefly becoming co-Augustus with his brother Caracalla. His coinage as Caesar is historically significant, as most depictions end abruptly after his assassination by Caracalla in AD 211.
