Very good example, quadrans! It is fascinating to find a 1700-year-old follis full silvered...if you are
interested in an other example, send me a message please

It appears that a "six pack" was valued back then too.

        Salve quadrans!
 
   Super nice!  Great details and, echoing the above, I also love that reverse.
  Love to see the full 'pouring from patera' - or since it's toward himself - 'spilling from patera..?' :)
 
   Wonderful coin!
 
     Best regards,
          Tia
