SELEUCIS and PIERIA, Antioch. Geta. AD 209-211. BI Tetradrachm (26mm, 14.04 g, 6h). Struck circa AD 211. AYT • KAI • ΓЄTAC • CЄ • B •, laureate head right / • ΔHMAPX • Є • Ξ • VΠATOC • TO • B •, eagle standing facing, head and tail right, with wings displayed, holding wreath in beak; stars flanking head. McAlee 720; RPC V.3 Online 84561; Prieur 213. Lustrous, minor marks, a couple of small scratches on reverse. Superb EF. Exceptional portrait of the 22 year old Geta, likely struck in the year of his assassination.

From the Deer Creek Collection. Ex Triton XXVII (9 January 2024), lot 493.

The two stars on this issue represent the joint reign of Caracalla and Geta as co-emperors, ironic, as this is the last issue of Geta prior to his assassination by his brother. The other instance of the appearance of the two stars was during the co-regency of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus.
