Æ15 - Marcus Aurelius ΜΑΓΝΗΤωΝ (might be retrograde)

Magnesia ad Maeandrum had long parlayed its claim as the mythological birthplace of Themistocles into civic prestige, and local bronze issues under Marcus Aurelius reflect the town's modest but persistent engagement with imperial coinage during the early co-regency years with Lucius Verus. The retrograde ethnic — if confirmed — is a die-cutter's error, not uncommon in smaller Ionian mints where oversight was informal and production volumes too low to justify correction.
