| Additional information |
The Magnetes were a Thessalian ethnos whose civic coinage under Elagabalus reflects the continued vitality of Greek provincial bronze production well into the third century. The ethnic MAΓNHTΩN locates this issue firmly within the league's autonomous coinage tradition, which persisted even as Roman imperial authority tightened across the Greek-speaking provinces.
Rogers 371a is a scarce variety within the series. BCD Thessaly I 1194 represents one of the better-documented specimens of this type in recent scholarship.
