It has been very enjoyable and very useful to get these denarii out and examine them carefully.
I appreciate them much more. Tomorrow at the coin show I should be able to remember what I have!

Great coin! Too bad his brother Caracalla had him murdered.
There is a minor typo. Geta was born in 189.
Looking at your dates, I was surprised to see a such a full beard on a 14-year old!
