| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Geta as Caesar facing right, seen from the rear, with curly hair rendered in fine detail. The legend encircles the bust in Greek characters, identifying the subject as Publius Septimius Geta in his capacity as Caesar. The portrait displays the youthful features characteristic of Geta's early representations on provincial coinage. The workmanship reflects the provincial die-cutting tradition of Heraclea Pontica. |

Heraclea Pontica had a complicated relationship with Rome through the Severan period — the city had been a free municipality since Pompey's reorganization of the Pontic region in 64 BC, and that autonomous status shaped how local magistrates chose to present imperial authority on civic bronze. The regional mint was not under direct Roman administrative control, which gave the city unusual latitude in how it commemorated emperors whose legitimacy was still being consolidated through civil war.
Septimius Severus only secured undisputed control after defeating Pescennius Niger at Issus in 194 AD, a battle fought less than 400 kilometers from Heraclea's sphere of commercial influence.
