| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central type showing a figure or deity, heavily obscured by patination and surface corrosion but consistent with known examples of this Ephesian civic issue. The reverse field carries a figural type associated with the city's religious iconography, possibly a cult statue or standing deity. The ethnic legend EΦECIΩN is disposed around the type, identifying the issuing city of Ephesus. The overall style and execution are characteristic of the civic bronze coinage produced at Ephesus under the Severan dynasty. The coin's worn and encrusted surfaces limit precise identification of the central type. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Geta's coins from Ephesus were struck during the brief window between his elevation to co-Augustus in 209 and his murder in February 212, when Caracalla had him killed — allegedly in their mother Julia Domna's arms. The Ephesian civic mint, one of the most prolific in Asia Minor, issued bronzes for both brothers simultaneously, a political balancing act that collapsed the moment Caracalla ordered Geta's damnatio memoriae and the destruction of his portraits and inscriptions throughout the empire.
Surviving Ephesian bronzes of Geta are notably less common than those of Caracalla from the same period, likely a direct consequence of that systematic destruction.
