## Image Caption

This is an idealized image of a female citizen from Magnesia. This honorific statue for a benefactress of the [city](https://www.worldhistory.org/city/) stood in the town hall of Magnesia on the Maeandar (in modern-day [Turkey](https://www.worldhistory.org/Asia_Minor/)). The missing inscription on the base of the statue gave information on her identity and the reason for the honor. Marble. C. 120-100 BCE. It is on display at the Altes Museum in Berlin, Germany.
