GETA, as Caesar. 198-209 AD. AR Denarius (2.92 gm). Struck 200-202 AD. Draped bust right / Three lines within wreath. Cf. RIC IV 22 (Septimius; for reverse); RSC 196 var. (obverse legend). VF, porosity. An apparently unpublished variety. ($200)
Although the reverse is a type known for Geta, this example lists his praenomen as L(ucius), which had been replaced by P(ublius) circa 200 AD.
