| Beschrijving keerzijde | Artemis Iolkia, the local tutelary goddess of the Magnesians, depicted seated to the left, with a quiver at her shoulder, holding a flower (uncertain) in one hand and a bow in the other. The composition reflects the distinctive provincial cult imagery of Artemis Iolkia as venerated at Iolkos in Thessaly. The encircling Greek legend identifies the deity and the issuing civic authority. The reverse field is heavily worn, obscuring finer details of the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Magnesians of Thessaly — not to be confused with Magnesia ad Maeandrum in Ionia — maintained a distinct civic identity through the imperial period, and their coinage under Antoninus Pius reflects a local religious tradition centered on Artemis Iolkia, whose cult was tied to the ancient harbor settlement of Iolkos, the legendary departure point of the Argonauts. Civic bronze issues of this type were struck at the initiative of local magistrates, funded by the city rather than the imperial treasury.
