This Day in Ancient History
On this day in 212 AD, Co-Emperor Geta, 22, was killed by his older brother and Co-Emperor, Caracalla, while Geta was seeking the false safety of their mother's sheltering embrace. See, I told you the sons of Septimus Severus couldn't get along. Caracalla of course became sole Emperor and ruled pretty well until he was assassinated in 217 AD. Geta and Caracalla were so-called Irish twins, having been born only 11 months apart.
