Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Quadrans coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Vespasian (P M TR P P P COS IIII S C) on one side, while the other side bears the image of a goddess, possibly Ceres or Venus, with a crescent moon above her head. This coin was minted during Vespasian's reign (72-73 AD), a time of relative peace and stability in the Roman Empire.
