Interesting fact
The Quadrans coin from Tuder (Umbria) was used as a form of currency in ancient Italy, specifically in the region of Umbria, during the 3rd century BC. It was made of bronze and had a distinctive design, featuring the image of a bull on one side and a crescent moon on the other. The coin was also known for its unique weight, which was heavier than other coins of its time, weighing 70.01 grams. This made it a valuable and sought-after coin among collectors and traders.
