| Beschrijving keerzijde | Isis standing facing with head turned to the left, rendered in full figure. The goddess raises her right hand holding a sistrum, the sacred rattle associated with her cult, while her left hand grasps a long sceptre. The legend ΜΑΓΝΗΤΩΝ is disposed around the figure in the field, identifying the issuing civic authority of Magnesia ad Maeandrum. The composition reflects the strong Isiac religious influence prevalent in the Greek cities of the Maeander valley during the Severan era. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Magnesia ad Maeandrum had long traded on its mythological founding credentials and its famous temple of Artemis Leukophryene when it began striking civic bronzes under Septimius Severus. The city sat within the Milesian conventus — one of the judicial circuits through which Rome administered the province of Asia — and local bronze issues like this one circulated exclusively within that regional economy, never intended for broader imperial use.
Severus himself spent much of his reign on campaign, and the eastern provinces largely governed themselves through existing civic machinery. The ΜΑΓΝΗΤΩΝ ethnic on issues of this period signals civic pride as much as political loyalty.
