When the husband of Julia Domna died--Emperor Septimius Severus--in Feb 4, 211 he left his empire to his two sons,
Geta Caracalla both together were acknowledged by the Senate the
army as the joint emperors of the Roman Empire. Despite being joint
rulers Geta was always in a secondary place to the older brother.
The
brothers planned a division of the empire, which was then distasteful
to all Romans was only prevented by the pleas of their mother,
Julia Domna. Caracalla Geta were completely different in
temperament. Caracalla was cruel extremely ambitious--Geta had a
more gentle personality. By the end of the 1st year of joint rule the
situation was unbearable. Caracalla organized the murder of Geta during
the festival of Saturnalia. Geta was murdered by centurions on December
26, 211. Geta died in his mother's ~ Julia Domna's ~ arms.
He was only 22 years old.
