| Additional information |
Magnesia ad Maeandrum, situated in the Maeander river valley inland from Miletus, was a city that leaned heavily on its mythological founding credentials — claiming descent from Magnesian settlers and proximity to the temple of Artemis Leucophryene, one of the more politically useful cult sites in western Anatolia. Under Marcus Aurelius, civic bronze coinage functioned as a local assertion of status within the conventus system, where cities competed for Roman recognition. The dating to 161–169 places this squarely within the co-reign with Lucius Verus, before the latter's death in 169.
