The Quadrans (S C; Ceres) coin was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of Emperor Domitian (81-96 AD) and was used to promote the cult of the Roman goddess Ceres, who was associated with agriculture and fertility. The coin features an image of Ceres on the obverse (front) side, and a depiction of a grain ear on the reverse (back) side, symbolizing the abundance and prosperity that Ceres brought to the Roman people.
