| Additional information |
Magnesia ad Sipylum sits in the Hermus valley of Lydia, distinct from its more famous namesake on the Maeander. This small bronze was issued under Gordian III, whose reign saw a marked revival of civic bronze coinage across Asia Minor after the near-cessation under Maximinus Thrax — a ruler so unpopular with the Senate that many cities had simply stopped issuing coins in his name. The Hochard reference places this among a tight die-linked group, suggesting a single concentrated production run rather than ongoing output.
