Long ago I wrote a short article on portraits of Geta for The Celator. Now I have put it on the web: http://esty.ancients.info/Geta/It might help you decide which type of Geta portrait to get. |

Very interesting. I collected Geta for a while. There are definite signs of his maturing illustrated through the coinage. How about the following pair of coins where his facial hair develops on the same reverse type within the same issue.   |

I added another early Geta portrait (Figure 3) to my short educational article: http://esty.ancients.info/Geta/On the earliest coins his name begins with an "L" instead of beginning with a "P" as it does later. |
