Rev. AETERNIT IMPERI; Caracalla, laur. and draped bust on l., Geta, bare-headed and draped bust on r., facing one another.

   

   RIC —; BMCRE p. 202, 253; Cohen (Severus, Caracalla and Geta) cf. 4; Calicó 2602b; Hill 549
Notes: Cohen gives Geta not cuirassed on reverse - possible? That reverse die certainly exists.  Hill 548 gives this obverse with the reverse type AETERNIT IMPERI, Serverus and Caracalla facing - an error? The combination is not recorded by any other catalogue.
