Came was located in the district of Pergamon. It was a small city whose exact location is unknown. Although its coinage is rare, the types were intriguing, including at least one medallion. Most appear religious or heroic in nature, though this one is more agricultural. Like many small cities in Asia Minor, agriculture was likely very important.
Note that, since the precise location is unknown, the one given here is an estimate.
