[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 3464594, member: 75937"]Did you know the quadrans (Greek κοδράντης) is mentioned twice in the Bible? The two verses are: Mark 12:42 καὶ ἐλθοῦσα μία χήρα πτωχὴ ἔβαλεν λεπτὰ δύο, ὅ ἐστιν κοδράντης. "And one poor widow came and threw two leptons, which is a quadrans." Matthew 5:26 ἀμὴν λέγω σοι, οὐ μὴ ἐξέλθῃς ἐκεῖθεν ἕως ἂν ἀποδῷς τὸν ἔσχατον κοδράντην. "Truly I tell you, you will not come out from there until you have paid back the last quadrans." My favorite quadrans: [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/trajan-quadrans-jpg.908337/[/IMG] Trajan, AD 98-117. Roman AE quadrans, 3.68 g, 16.4 mm, 6 h. Rome, AD 98-117. Obv: IMP CAES NERVA TRAIAN AVG, laureate bust right, drapery on left shoulder. Rev: She-wolf walking right; SC in exergue. Refs: RIC 692; BMCRE 1060; Cohen 338; RCV --; Woytek 599b1.[/QUOTE]
