Æ29 - Gordian III ΕΠΙ ΓΡ ΑΝΤΙΟΧΟΥ ΜΑΓΝΗΤΩΝ

Magnesia ad Maeandrum maintained an unusually active civic bronze coinage under Gordian III, with the magistrate name Antiochos appearing across multiple die pairings from this period — suggesting he held office long enough to oversee several emission runs rather than a single ceremonial issue. The city sat on the Maeander valley road network, which kept it commercially relevant even as larger Ionian centers drew imperial attention away from smaller conventus towns.
