ID:     735166      [UNVERIFIED] Type:     Roman Imperial Issuer:     Geta Date Ruled:     198-209 AD Metal:     Silver Denomination:     Denarius Struck / Cast:     struck Date Struck:     AD 200-202 Diameter:     18 mm Weight:     3.45 g Obverse Legend:     P SEPT GETA CAES PONT Obverse Description:     Bare-headed, draped bust right Reverse Legend:     NOBI-LITAS Reverse Description:     Nobilitas standing facing, head right, holding small statue (the Palladium?) Mint:     Rome Primary Reference:     RIC 013 Reference2:     RSC 090 Reference3:     BMCRE 223 Photograph Credit:     Classical Numismatic Group Source:     http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=35410 Grade:     Toned, good VF, a few small spots of encrustation, hairline flan crack Notes:     Artistic portrait and reverse. Although the small statue held by Nobilitas is universally described as "the Palladium", on this example it is wreathed rather than helmeted and holds no statue of Victory. In fact, it precisely copies the figure of Nobilitas. Perhaps the work of a new, but extremely talented, celator?
