<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Suarez, post: 4122740, member: 99239&quot;]No ifs, ands or buts about it. It unequivocally isn&#039;t a quinarius. Allectus&#039;s economy was crumbling so he shrank the module to stretch the buck. Making a coin that was a little bit cheaper but nominally worth many times less makes about as much sense as the U.S. mint restarting production of the half cent. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just a wild theory on my part but I think it far likelier that it&#039;s a denomination retariffed at five times the old ant. The Q stands for <i>quinque; </i>the number five in Latin and the the type itself, this <i>quinqueremus </i>five-oared galley, would work as an effective visual aid to drive home the point of the new coin&#039;s value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rasiel[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
