Interesting fact
The Quadrans coin was used in ancient Rome as a form of currency, and its design changed over time. The Quadrans coin featuring Tiberius (14-37 AD) from Romula (Baetica) is particularly interesting because it was issued during a time of significant political and social change in Rome. Tiberius was the second Roman emperor and ruled during a period of relative peace and stability, but his reign was also marked by controversy and intrigue. The coin's design features an image of Tiberius on one side and a depiction of a goddess on the other, symbolizing the Roman Empire's power and influence. Despite its age, the Quadrans coin remains a valuable piece of history and a fascinating artifact for collectors and historians alike.
