| Additional information |
Magnesia ad Maeandrum's civic bronze issues under Severus Alexander belong to a period of unusually active provincial minting across the conventus of Miletus, driven partly by chronic shortages of small-denomination Roman coinage reaching the interior of Asia Minor. The city itself had a long history of asserting its identity through coinage — it was among the Ionian communities that resumed autonomous bronze production most aggressively under the Severan dynasty.
VI#5152 is a relatively thinly documented type; confirmed specimens are sparse in major auction records.
