| Aanvullende informatie |
Magnesia ad Sipylum sat in the Hermus valley beneath Mount Sipylus, a city whose loyalty to Rome was secured early — it was among the communities that aided Roman forces during the wars against Antiochus III in the early second century BC, earning lasting privileges. By the Severan period the city minted prolifically under the Smyrna conventus, but output under Gordian III reflects a broader surge in provincial bronze across Asia Minor, likely tied to the suspension of regular silver distributions and increased reliance on local civic issues for small transactions.
