Very rare Geta bronze, practically not available in trade at all and missing from the largest collections of ancient coins.
Only coins from Cremna mint have the title Geta FOR, is probably an abbreviation of Fortis or Fortissimus, meaning strong, brave, the most powerful. On the reverse there is a Nemesis (goddess of vengeance, destiny and justice), holding a scepter, at her feet, on the left side, a griffin holding a paw on a wheel symbolizing the cyclical nature of human fate. The motif of a winged griffin with a paw on a wheel appears in Roman art in the 1st century (an example is a wall painting from the Fabia House in Pompeii and a Domitian coin minted in Alexandria).
