| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, laureate bust of Caracalla facing right, with draped and cuirassed shoulders visible at the truncation. The imperial effigy is rendered in the typical provincial workshop style of Ionian Asia Minor, with curled hair beneath the laurel wreath. The Greek legend arcs around the bust in the field, identifying the emperor by his adopted name. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Magnesia ad Maeandrum occupied an awkward position in the Roman provincial hierarchy — nominally free, practically subject, and perpetually competing with neighboring Miletus for civic prestige within the same conventus district. Small bronzes of this type functioned as the lowest denomination in local exchange, rarely traveling far from the city's markets. The reign of Septimius Severus saw a marked increase in provincial bronze output across Asia Minor, partly driven by his debasement of the imperial silver coinage, which pushed everyday transactions onto local issues.
