Description
Geta was Roman emperor with his father Septimius Severus and older brother Caracalla from 209, when he was named Augustus like his brother, who had held the title since 198. Severus died in 211, and although he intended for his sons to rule together, they proved incapable of sharing power, culminating with the murder of Geta in December of that year.
Geta's murder, commanded by his brother, triggered the destrution of all representations of him. Anyone who aligned with Geta was massacred, leading to over 20,000 people murdered across the Roman Empire. Despite this attempt to remove Geta from history, a few busts and portraits of him remain.
