Overview
Germanus, called "patricius" (Greek: πατρίκιος), was a leading member of the Byzantine Senate during the reign of Maurice.
Family
Other than a wife called Leontia by Theophanes the Confessor, there is no named relative of Germanus. His name has led to a possible identification with a similarly named son of Germanus (d. 550) and Matasuntha. But said son has also been identified with Germanus, a son-in-law of Tiberius II Constantine and Ino Anastasia. The common name "Germanus" may hint to these figures being related to each other but there is insufficient evidence for identifications.
