| Additional information |
The Magnetes were a Thessalian league whose autonomous bronze coinage under Nero reflects the administrative latitude Rome extended to certain Greek regional bodies during this period. Their issues were purely local in circulation — never reaching the broader provincial economy — which explains why survivors tend to show limited wear despite nearly two millennia of existence.
