Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Quadrans - Anonymous (S C; Jupiter) (81-161) coin is that it features an image of Jupiter, the Roman god of thunder, on one side, and a quadriga, or four-horse chariot, on the other. This design was common on Roman coins during this time period and symbolized the power and authority of the Roman Empire.
