Additional information

Magnesia ad Maeandrum was one of several Ionian cities competing for the title neokoros — warden of an imperial cult temple — during the Severan period, and civic bronze issues under named magistrates like Secundus were a primary vehicle for broadcasting that ambition to Rome. The magistrate's name in the genitive, prominent in the legend, served as both administrative record and personal advertisement.

Elagabalus's four-year reign generated substantial provincial output across the Conventus of Miletus before his murder by the Praetorian Guard in March 222.
