HISTORY :

Géta was born on 26 May 189 and was named Caesar by his father in 198, later being elevated to the title of Augustus in 199. Once Septimius Severus died, the two brothers, Caracalla and Géta, reigned for a year before Caracalla decided to kill Géta, who was then in his mother's arms. Géta was then condemned to damnatio memoriæ and his supporters were massacred.
