Caracalla & Geta as Caesar Unpublished AR Denarius Roman Empire 199-200 AD Silver Coin Laodicea mint Museum Reproduction CSRD0149

At first glance, the combination of legends on this issue would seem impossible, as their traditional arrangement at the eastern mint (presumably Laodicea) would not allow for their concurrent use. Three legends are found on Geta’s issues at Laodicea, and Mattingly arranged them according to their relative sequence at Rome: (1) L SEPTIMIVS GETA CAES, (2) P SEPT GETA CAES PONT, and (3) P SEPTIMIVS GETA CAES. Rome had additional legends that were interspersed among these, but this seems to have been irrelevant for Mattingly’s arrangement at Laodicea.
