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.
