Æ26 - Severus Alexander ΓΕΡΜΗΝΩΝ

Germe was a small Mysian city in the Pergamene conventus whose civic coinage under Severus Alexander reflects the broader explosion of provincial bronze production during his reign — a period when the imperial administration actively encouraged cities to fund their own small-change needs rather than draw on central mint resources. The city's output remains sparse in the catalogues, and pieces attributed to Germe are underrepresented in major collections relative to its larger neighbors in the conventus.
