Æ38 - Septimius Severus ΕΠΙ ϹΤΡ ΑΙ ΝΕΙΚΙΟΥ, ΓΕΡΜΗΝΩΝ

Germe was a minor Mysian city whose civic coinage under Septimius Severus names the strategos Aineikios — a local magistrate responsible for authorizing the issue. Provincial bronze of this size from small Pergamene conventus cities was struck entirely for local circulation; Rome had no hand in production, and quality control varied sharply between magistracies. The ethnic genitive ΓΕΡΜΗΝΩΝ confirms the civic, not imperial, authority behind the type.

V.2 #660 places this among the rarer Germe issues, the city's output under the Severans being modest compared to its larger Mysian neighbors.
