Interesting fact
The Quadrans - Tiberius (OSCA) (14-37) coin features an image of Tiberius, the second Roman Emperor, on one side, and a depiction of a mythical creature called a "quadriga" on the other. A quadriga is a chariot pulled by four horses, and it was a common motif in ancient Roman art and architecture. The use of the quadriga on this coin may have been intended to symbolize the power and prestige of the Roman Empire.
