Geta

About Geta

Geta was a Roman Emperor who co-ruled the vast empire alongside his elder brother Caracalla from 198 to 211 CE. Born Septimius Geta, his co-reign was marked by the consolidation of imperial power following the chaotic year of the five emperors. Although his time as Augustus was short-lived, his eventual Assassination by Caracalla in 211 CE—shortly after their father Septimius Severus’s death—was a pivotal moment in Roman succession, leading to Caracalla's sole, infamous rule. This historical significance places him at Pantheon Rank #311, indicating considerable, though perhaps tragically brief, global cultural impact.

Despite his high historical ranking, Geta receives modest modern attention, logging 892K annualized Wikipedia views in 2025. This level of traffic suggests an "overattention" gap of +2x when measured against his historical rank, indicating he receives roughly twice the online traffic expected of a figure ranked #311. For perspective, Leon Trotsky, another politician but one ranked similarly at #316, garners 1.6M views, nearly double Geta’s current traffic. The momentum data further shows a sharp decline, with his Q1 to Q3 momentum dropping by -74%, suggesting that whatever interest does exist is rapidly waning in 2025.
