Germa (Mysia)

Germa or Germe (Ancient Greek: Γέρμη) or Germae or Germai (Γέρμαι),^[1] or Hiera Germa or Hiera Germe (Ἱερά Γέρμη), meaning 'holy Germa', also known as Germa in Hellesponto to distinguish it from several other towns named Germa, was a town of ancient Mysia, situated between the rivers Macestus and Rhyndacus.^[2][3] It appears in episcopal notices as an archbishopric.^[1] and was represented at the Council of Ephesus and Calcedon^[4] by the bishop of the town. No longer the seat of a residential archbishop, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.^[5]

Its site is located near Karaçam in Savaştepe, Asiatic Turkey.^[6][7]
