Publius Septimius Geta (brother of Septimius Severus)
- Publius Septimius Geta (brother of Septimius Severus)
Publius Septimius Geta (?-around 204) was the second son to the elder Publius Septimius Geta and Fulvia Pia. He was born and raised in Leptis Magna (southeast of Carthage, modern Libya, North Africa). He was of Libyco-Punic and Roman ancestry.
This Geta was more politically active than his father. Geta was appointed as a decemvir which in part involved judging of litigation "(stlitibus iudicandis)". He became a tribune of the "Legio II Augusta" and an Aedile. Geta in 185 became a Legatus of the "Legio I Italica" and afterwards a proconsul of Sicily around 187/8. In 188, he became Legatus of Lusitania. He was suffect consul in 191.
After his suffect consulship, he became Legatus of Moesia. When Severus was proclaimed emperor in 193, he headed with the legions to Carnuntum, where his brother was, to show his support. When his tenure as Legatus finished in Moesia, he became the Legatus for Dacia. Geta was appointed as quaestor and praetor of Crete and Cyrene and became one of the consuls in 203. Geta died around 204. Before his death, Geta stated to Severus, that he hated Praetorian Guard Gaius Fulvius Plautianus and warned him of Plautianus’ treachery.
