Reverse description An eagle stands facing with wings fully spread, its head turned to the left in the classic imperial-eagle type widely employed on Roman provincial bronzes. The bird is set within a prominent laurel wreath that frames the central device, with the civic legend distributed around the outer field. The composition reflects the city of Magnesia ad Maeandrum's proud claim to the title of seventh city of Asia, expressed in the encircling Greek inscription.
