Æ37 - Septimius Severus ΚΑΙϹΑΡΕΙΑϹ ΓΕΡΜΑΝΙΚΗϹ

Caesarea Germanica was a small Bithynian city granted the right to strike bronze coinage under the Severan dynasty, likely as a reward for civic loyalty during the civil wars of 193 AD — the Year of the Five Emperors. The city's mint output was modest and geographically narrow in distribution, which accounts for the relative difficulty in tracing die links across surviving specimens.

At 31.89g, this piece sits toward the heavy end of known examples for the type, suggesting it was struck early in the series before weight standards drifted downward.
