Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
The Quadrans (S C) (98) coin was used during the Roman Empire (27 BC - 395 AD) and was made of bronze. It was a standard circulation coin and was valued at one-fourth of a denarius, which was the standard unit of currency during that time. The coin features an image of the Roman goddess Venus on one side and a mythical creature called a "quadrant" on the other side, hence its name. The quadrant was a symbol of the Roman Empire's military power and was often depicted on coins during that time.
