<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 8078364, member: 82616&quot;]I really love this denomination. My hunch is that it was struck in much larger quantities than the survival finds indicate. At any rate, my latest one is from the short reign of Titus.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1402389[/ATTACH]<b>Titus</b></p><p>Æ Quadrans, 2.45g</p><p>Rome mint, 80-81 AD</p><p>Obv: IMP T VESP AVG COS VIII; Head of Minerva, helmeted, r.</p><p>Rev: S C in laurel wreath</p><p>RIC 254 (C).

Although the frequency rating in RIC is listed as &#039;common&#039; for this Minerva type, this denomination as a whole is fairly uncommon for Titus. Their rarity today is likely a result of them being of low value and typically not hoarded.</p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to post your quadrantes![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
