Æ33 - Elagabalus ΕΠΙ ΓΡ ΥΛΛΟΥ...? ΜΑΓΝΗΤΩΝ

Magnesia ad Maeandrum sat in the Maeander river valley of Ionia, a city with a long history of civic coin production that accelerated sharply under the Severan dynasty as provincial minting rights were vigorously exercised across the conventus of Miletus. The partially legible magistrate name — likely a grammateus or civic official responsible for authorizing the issue — is a frustratingly common problem with Magnesian bronzes of this reign, where die engraving quality varied considerably across the short four-year window of Elagabalus's rule.

The reference VI#5116 places this within Waddington's corpus, though Magnesian civic issues from this emperor remain sparsely documented relative to neighboring Ephesus or Smyrna.
