Interesting fact
The Quadrans coin was used in the Roman provinces of Lusitania (present-day Portugal and parts of Spain) during the reign of Emperor Augustus (44 BC - 27 BC). Despite its small weight of 2.47 grams, the Quadrans was an important coin in the Roman economy, as it was used for everyday transactions and was a symbol of the Roman Empire's power and influence.
