Interesting fact
The Quadrans coin featuring Tiber, Romulus, and Remus was minted during the reign of Emperor Tiberius (14-37 AD), who was known for his extensive building projects and military campaigns. Despite being made of bronze, this coin was considered a low-denomination coin and was likely used for everyday transactions. Its design featuring the twin brothers Romulus and Remus, who legendarily founded Rome, and their adoptive father Tiber, symbolized the unity and strength of the Roman Empire.
