Geta, AD 209-211 ROMAN EMPIRE AR Denarius

Publius Septimius Geta (/ˈɡɛtə/ GHET-ə; 7 March 189 – 26 December 211) was Roman emperor with his father Septimius Severus and older brother Caracalla from 209 to 211. Severus died in February 211 and intended for his sons to rule together, but they proved incapable of sharing power, culminating with the murder of Geta in December of that year.

Geta was the younger son of Septimius Severus by his second wife Julia Domna. He was born on 7 March 189^[1][2] in either Rome or Mediolanum,^[3][4] at a time when his father was only a provincial governor at the service of Emperor Commodus. On 28 January 198, Geta was raised to caesar (heir).^[1] Septimius Severus gave him the title of augustus (emperor) in late 209,^[5] perhaps in September or October.^[6]
