However, Lusius Geta maintained the confidence of Claudius himself and remained in office as praetorian prefect until AD 51, although he shared his position with Rufrius Crispinus. In AD 51 Claudius' fourth wife Agrippina, fearing that Geta and Crispinus favored Messalina's son and imperial heir Britannicus more than her own son Nero, had the pair replaced by Sextus Afranius Burrus.[3]
In 54, Claudius appointed Geta governor of Egypt (praefectusAlexandreae et Aegypti). He held this post from March 29 to November 17 of that year, when Nero (who had succeeded Claudius on October 13) recalled him to Rome.
