Æ31 - Gordian III ΕΠΙ ΝΑΙΒΙΑΝΟΥ ΑΡΧΟΝΤΟϹ ΓΕΡΜΗΝΩΝ

Germe was a minor Mysian city whose civic coinage under Gordian III is notable for the explicit naming of its archon — Naibianus — in the obverse legend, an administrative transparency unusual enough that modern cataloguers have used it to sequence die production within the city's brief bronze output. The magistrate formula ΕΠΙ ΝΑΙΒΙΑΝΟΥ places this squarely within the Greek east's tradition of civic accountability, where the sitting magistrate bore formal responsibility for the coinage's integrity.
