| Beschrijving keerzijde | The goddess Cybele, Magna Mater and principal deity of Phrygia and Mysia, is depicted seated to the left on a throne, holding a patera in her extended right hand and a long sceptre in her left, with her left arm resting upon a tympanum placed at her side. Two lions, her sacred animals and emblems of her divine power, are shown flanking her or positioned in front of the throne. The composition reflects the deep local veneration of Cybele in the region of Germe, and the execution is consistent with the provincial bronze coinage of the Conventus of Pergamum. The reverse legend names the local magistrate responsible for the issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Germe was a minor city in Mysia whose civic coinage under Gordian III was tied directly to local magistracies — the legend naming Apollonides as archon anchors this piece to a specific administrative moment in the city's Roman-period governance. Civic bronze of this scale from Germe is genuinely scarce; the city produced far less coinage than its Pergamene conventus neighbors, and large module pieces like this one appear infrequently in the trade. The reference to VII.1#158 places it within Franke and Nollé's corpus of Mysian civic issues.
