| Additional information |
Germe was a small Mysian city of modest political weight, and its bronze coinage under Gordian III reflects a municipality working hard to signal loyalty to Rome during a reign that began when the teenage emperor was effectively a puppet of the praetorian prefect Timesitheus. The magistrate named in the legend — Apollonides — is otherwise unattested in the epigraphic record, making this coin one of the few traces he left at all.
