Beginning in AD 208, Septimius 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 Eburacum (modern day York). By AD 210, coins were struck in the names of all three family members celebrating their British successes.
