| Aanvullende informatie |
Caesarea Germanica, a small inland city in Bithynia, was granted the right to strike bronze coinage under Roman imperial authority — a privilege that carried civic prestige far exceeding the coins' practical monetary value. The city's name preserved its Germanica honorific, likely derived from an earlier grant under the Julio-Claudian dynasty, though its exact eponymous origin remains debated among specialists.
Hadrian's provincial tour of Bithynia circa 123–124 AD stimulated renewed civic coinage across the region, and several cities issued bronzes in direct response to the emperor's presence or anticipated visit.
