At Laodicea Caracalla is only bearded from late 3rd issue (Gamma mark), thus Beta cannot be a correct reverse, however, Geta in the 3rd issue is marked with B (Beta). I know of no other "mules" in the Syro-Phoenician coinage.

Laureate bust of Caracalla's right, slight drapery on his left shoulder. / Geta reverse:- Eagle standing facing right, head left, with wings displayed, holding wreath in beak. Ends B (Beta of Geta) not G (Gamma of Caracalla) as it should be, thus a "Mule"
