		On its wreathed tetradrachms, Magnesia-on-Maeander, with its famous sanctuary of Artemis Leukophryene, depicted Artemis on the obverse and her twin Apollo on the reverse, his local identity underscored by the city's badge, the maeander, on which he stands (no. 48).
		Although the Greek polis persisted in the Hellenistic kingdoms of Alexander and his successors, and although in brief periods of freedom poleis such as Magnesia-on Maeander celebrated their autonomy on their coins (no. 48), coinage was forever changed by the Hellenistic institution of divine kingship and the development of ruler portraiture in coinage.

		The location of the church at Magnesia is unknown, but "near the Maeander" signifies the Meander (Menderes) River in Asia Minor.
