Germa (Arabic: جرمة), known in ancient times as Garama, is an archaeological site in Libya.
The Garamantes were a Saharan Toubou[2] sub clan called Karra/Garre people living in the Fezzan in the northeastern Sahara Desert.
The Garamantes often conducted raids across Rome's African frontier, the Limes Tripolitanus, and retreated to the safety of the desert.
In 203, Roman Emperor Septimius Severus launched a campaign deep into the Sahara and captured Garama, but he soon abandoned it.
