Riga 5:

Figlio di [[Settimio Severo]] e fratello di [[Caracalla]], nacque a [[Roma]] il [[7 marzo]] [[189]].

Geta fu il figlio più giovane di Settimio Severo dalla seconda moglie Giulia Domna. Geta nacque Rome, quando suo padre era solo un governatore provinciale al servizio dell'imperatore Commodo.

Nel Tondo della famiglia dei Severi, with portraits of Septimius Severus, Julia Domna, Caracalla, and Geta. La faccia di Geta è stata cancellata, a causa della damnatio memoriae ordinata da suo fratello ed assassino, Caracalla.

Geta fu sempre posto in secondo piano rispetto al suo fratello più vecchio, Lucio, meglio conosciuto come Caracalla. Perhaps due to this, the relations between the two were difficult from their early years. Conflicts were constant and often required the mediation of their mother. To appease his youngest son, Septimius Severus gave Geta the title of Augustus in 209. During the campaign against the Britons of the early 3rd century, the imperial propaganda publicized a happy family that shared the responsibilities of rule. Caracalla was his father's second in command, Julia Domna the trusted counsellor and Geta had administrative and bureaucratic duties. Truth was that the rivalry and antipathy between the brothers was far from being improved.

When Septimius Severus died in York in the beginning of 211, Caracalla and Geta were proclaimed joint emperors and returned to Rome. Caracalla soon had his brother killed.

Following Geta's assassination, Caracalla damned his memory and ordered his name to be removed from all inscriptions. The now sole emperor also took the opportunity to get rid of his political enemies, on the grounds of conspiracy with the deceased. Contemporary sources refer to numbers of about 20,000 persons of both sexes killed and/or proscribed during this time.

Nominato Cesare dal padre nel [[198]], alla sua morte fu Augusto insieme al fratello.

In costante disaccordo con [[Caracalla]] fu ucciso da emissari di questi a [[Roma]] nel [[212]] mentre cercava scampo tra le braccia della madre Giulia Domna.
