Beginning in 208 AD, Septimius Severus waged a military campaign against the Caledonians in northern Britain with his sons Caracalla and Geta. Due to his father's illness, Caracalla took the lead in managing military operations throughout most of the campaign, while Geta took on administrative duties at the campaign base camp at Eboracum (modern day York). By 210 AD, all three family members were depicted on coins celebrating their success. This sestertius, produced after Geta was raised to the rank of Augustus, refers to the end of the British campaign. The obverse legend records Geta's newly adopted title, "Britannicus," while on the reverse Victory is engraving a shield as a memorial to the closing of the campaign.
