This pair of busts depict the tragic young figures Publius Septimus Geta son of emperor Septimus Severus, and his sister-in-law Plautilla who were vehemently murdered by Geta's older brother Caracalla in 211 AD. The Grand Duke, Cosimo III de'Medici (1642-1723) had two Antique marble examples on display at Uffizi, Florence which were the source of Grand Tour copies, commissioned in both marble and bronze, to meet the British appetite for all things Antique in the 18th century.

A pair of exquisite bronze examples cast by Pietro Cipriani (c. 1679-1745) were sold from the Grand Tour collection of Thomas Parker, 1st Earl of Macclesfield (1666-1732), Christie's, London, 1 December 2005, lot 81.
