Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Quadrans coin is that it features the image of Romulus and Remus, the legendary twin brothers who founded Rome, on one side, and Tiber, the Roman god of the Tiber River, on the other. This coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD) and was widely used throughout the Roman Empire.
