Publius Septimius Geta (c. 143 - c. 203/c. 204) was the second son to the elderPublius Septimius Geta and brother of the emperorSeptimius Severus. His mother was Fulvia Pia. He was born and raised inLeptis Magna (southeast ofCarthage, modernLibya,North Africa). He hadItalian Roman ancestry on his mother's side, and was descended fromLibyan-Punic forebears on his father's side.[1]

This Geta was more politically active than his father. Geta was appointed one of thedecemviri stlitibus judicandis, which in part involved judging lawsuits. These ten men were one of the four boards that form thevigintiviri; membership in one of these four boards was a preliminary and required first step toward a gaining entry into the Roman Senate. After this Geta was commissioned atribunus laticlavius with theLegio II Augusta, at the time stationed inRoman Britain. This was followed by the office ofaedile cerealis, aCurator rei pub. Anconitanorum and aPraet. hastarius et tutel. Geta in 185 becamelegatus legionis or commander ofLegio I Italica and afterwards aProconsul ofSicily around 187/8.[2] Between circa 188 and circa 190, he becamelegatus ofLusitania.[3] He wassuffect consul in or around 191.[4]

After his suffect consulship, between 193 and 194, he became Legatus ofMoesia Inferior.[5] When Severus was proclaimed emperor in 193, Geta led the legions toCarnuntum, where his brother was, to show his support. He is attested as being the Legatus forTres Daciae in 195.[6] Geta was appointed asQuaestor andPraetor ofCrete and Cyrenaica and became one of theConsuls in 203.[7] Geta died around 203 or 204. On his deathbed, Geta stated to Severus that he hated thePraetorian Prefect,Gaius Fulvius Plautianus, and warned him of Plautianus' treachery.[8]
