Geta Augustus

bronzemat

I've wanted a Augustus Geta for a very long time and one appeared that basically said "Im the One" and with luck I got it and for a very fair price. So this is a big want that I can scratch off my list.

His tragic story alone makes him an interesting emperor.

Nice sharp detail on that one. Neat toning, too. I like the equestrian reverse.

JCMhouston

That reverse is a very nice design, I like it.

Swampboy

Nice example.
That's a dynamic reverse for a Geta.

Thanks for the comments everyone

Nice portrait especially. A fun, albeit a bit bloody, series. Congrats on a fine pickup!

Very sharp coin! Wasn't Geta the brother of....Caracalla? And murdered young? I need to look at my history book. I've been so busy with Russian stuff I haven't done anything with Roman in forever. The whole Severan story is pretty sad.
