Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Quadrans coin is that it features an image of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, fertility, and theater, on one side, and an image of a grapevine on the other. This suggests that the coin may have been used as a form of payment for goods related to wine production or trade.
