Geta was the younger son of Septimius Severus and brother of Caracalla. Elevated to Caesar in AD 198, he later became Augustus and eventually ruled jointly with Caracalla. Their rivalry culminated in Geta’s murder in AD 211, after which Caracalla ordered his brother’s memory condemned through damnatio memoriae.
