Interesting fact
The Quadrans coin was used in ancient Rome as a form of payment for everyday goods and services. It was equivalent to one-fourth of a Roman denarius, which was the standard unit of currency at the time. The Quadrans coin was made of bronze and had a distinctive design that featured the image of a mythical creature called a "quadrant," which was a combination of a horse and a lion. The coin was used widely throughout the Roman Empire and was an important part of the Roman economy.
