Quadrans COTD
« on: January 21, 2021, 05:29:06 am »
I love quadrantes. Especially those without an imperial portrait. This recently acquired Flavian quadrans is in fairly decent condition with full legends and a nice chocolatey patina - it was hard to resist.

When you think of Titus's coinage, do you think of his quadrantes? I didn't think so.

Here is a chart that illustrates just how rare quadrantes were during the early Flavian era.

'Live' currency from a bar in Pompeii.
