| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust of Geta as Caesar facing right, the paludamentum visible at the shoulder, rendered in the three-quarter rear perspective characteristic of provincial coinage of the Severan period. The youthful features and curly hair of the prince are rendered with modest but competent provincial die-cutting. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Greek characters, identifying the subject by his full titulature. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Creteia-Flaviopolis was a mid-tier Bithynian city whose civic coinage under Septimius Severus reflects the broader provincial scramble to align with the new dynasty following the chaos of 193 AD — the Year of the Four Emperors. Cities that struck bronze in Severus's name early in his reign were, in effect, placing a political bet, and Creteia-Flaviopolis placed it correctly.
The dual nomenclature of the city — merging the older Creteia with Flaviopolis, a foundation honoring the Flavian dynasty — persisted on coinage long after the Flavians themselves had vanished from Rome.
