| Additional information |
The Magnetes of Thessaly — not to be confused with the coastal Magnetes of Ionia — operated as a loose tribal federation whose coinage rights under Roman imperial administration were intermittent and locally negotiated. Issues naming the ethnic ΜΑΓΝΗΤΩΝ alongside the reigning emperor's titles reflect a specific moment of civic assertion, likely tied to the confederation's reorganization under the Flavians and early Antonines rather than continuous minting privilege.
