"A 'quadrans' was originally a Roman Republican coin which weighed a quarter of a Roman pound, or 'as'. Though produced at about 82 grams in the early third century BC, through reductions in bronze coinage weights it was struck at 2.95-3.35 grams by the time of Augustus. In Imperial times it remained relatively constant at about 3.15 gms and 14-18 mms, comprised of copper except for two years under Nero when it was reduced to 2.1 gms and struck in orichalcum. Equaling 1/64 of a denarius or 1/4 of an 'as', it was the smallest Imperial denomination normally struck, and was discontinued under Hadrian." - from Moneta Historical Research by Tom Schroer
