Æ26 - Commodus ϹΤΡΑ ΑΙ ΚοΔΡΑ ΜΑΓΝΗΤ ϹΙΠΥΛο

Magnesia ad Sipylum occupied a strategically awkward position in the Conventus of Smyrna — prosperous enough to mint civic bronze under imperial supervision, but perpetually overshadowed by Smyrna itself. The abbreviated magistrate name preserved in the obverse legend, likely a local strategos, is one of very few administrative traces we have of Magnesia's civic officeholders during the early Severan transition period.

The dating to 180–182 places this squarely in the first years after Marcus Aurelius's death, when Commodus was actively cultivating eastern civic loyalty through permitting continued local bronze production.
