Æ26 - Gordian III ΕΠΙ ΝΑΙΒ (ΑΝ) ΓΕΡΜΗ (ΩΝ)

Germe was a small Mysian city whose civic bronze issues under Gordian III were administered through the conventus of Pergamum, the regional assize court that governed Roman judicial and administrative affairs across the district. The magistrate name partially preserved in the legend — the naibarch or nabarches, a local office unique to certain Mysian communities — has made this series particularly useful to scholars mapping municipal governance structures in Asia Minor during the Severan and post-Severan periods.

VII.1#136 is among the scarcer documented die pairings from Germe's output under this emperor.
