Interesting fact
The Quadrans coin featuring Mars, Romulus, and Remus was minted during the reign of Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD). It's interesting to note that Hadrian was not only an emperor but also a skilled architect, and he introduced several reforms that helped to strengthen the Roman Empire. One of his most notable achievements was the construction of the Pantheon in Rome, which still stands today as a testament to Roman engineering and architecture.
