Interesting fact

The Quadrans coin was used in ancient Rome as a form of currency and was equivalent to one-fourth of a Roman denarius, which was the standard unit of currency at the time. The Quadrans was made of bronze and had a distinctive design, featuring the image of a bust of a Roman goddess on one side and a wreath on the other. The coin was used for everyday transactions and was a vital part of the Roman economy.
