Younger son of Septimius Severus, Geta was raised to the throne alongside his brother Caracalla. The two hated each other; at their father's death in 211 the empire fell to them jointly, and the arrangement did not last a year. Caracalla had him murdered in their mother's arms, then erased his name and face from the monuments. His coins survived the damnatio memoriae.
