| Additional information |
Magnesia ad Maeandrum's civic tetradrachm coinage of the mid-second century BC was produced under the authority of named magistrates — Erognetos, son of Zopyrion, being one of the officials who oversaw a specific issue within this series. The city had received a declaration of inviolability (asylia) from Seleucid king Antiochus III in 208 BC, a status it leveraged aggressively in diplomatic correspondence with Greek states for decades afterward, bolstering its prestige and the credibility of its coinage across the Aegean network.
SNG von Aulock 7921 anchors attribution for this magistrate's issue to the Berlin collection's documentation of Asia Minor civic coinages.
