Æ30 - Philip I ΕΠΙ ΓΡ ΕΥΤΥΧΟΥϹ ΤΥΧΙΚΟΥ ΜΑΓΝΗΤΩΝ

Philip I's reign coincided with Rome's millennial celebrations of 248 AD, and provincial mints across Asia Minor issued heavily during this period as cities competed for imperial favor through demonstrative loyalty coinage. The magistrate name recorded here — Eutyches Tychikos — follows the double-name convention common among civic officials in Ionian cities during the Severan and post-Severan period, though the specific individual is unattested outside numismatic evidence.

Magnesia ad Maeandrum held the title of neokoros, and civic pride in that status shaped much of its third-century bronze output.
