| Additional information |
Magnesia ad Maeandrum sat in the Maeander river valley of Lydia, a city proud enough of its mythological founding — attributed to Leucippus of Magnesia — to maintain an active civic mint well into the imperial period. The inverted omega in ΜΑΓΝΗΤΩΝ is not damage or engraver error; it appears consistently across this issue and likely reflects a local workshop convention, possibly a single die-cutter's habit that was never corrected or simply went unchallenged by civic authorities.
