Additional information

This issue belongs to a narrow window when Geta held the title Caesar under his father Septimius Severus, before Caracalla's murder of his brother in 212 effectively erased Geta from official memory across the empire. Coins naming Geta were subject to damnatio memoriae, and provincial issues from the Koinon of Cyprus were no exception — many were defaced, restruck, or simply pulled. Survivors in any condition are structurally underrepresented relative to contemporary Severan provincial output.
