<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2318288, member: 74282&quot;]That&#039;s not a bad budget quadrans. It&#039;s too far gone for me to give you any more of an ID unfortunately. I only have a single quadrans, from the &quot;CN GEL&quot; series, thought to have been minted under a Cnaeus Gellius, possibly the same <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnaeus_Gellius" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnaeus_Gellius" rel="nofollow">Cn. Gellius</a> who wrote a history of Rome cited by various later historians. It is fairly rough as almost every one of this moneyer&#039;s quadrantes seem to be, but has a nice obverse and an OK reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]468113[/ATTACH]</p><p>Roman Republic Æ quadrans(18.3 mm, 6.16 g, 11 h).
