<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2037387, member: 57495&quot;]For all the right reasons most of us drool over those beautiful big Roman bronzes, the sestertii, but how about some love for the little guys, the semisses and quadrantes who seem to fall through the cracks (literally and figuratively).&nbsp; I&#039;m guilty of overlooking them too... I&#039;ve had this Trajan quadrans for a few months now, but only just today deigned to commit it to photograph.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This is one of the issues with the bust of Hercules rather than Trajan on the obverse.&nbsp; One variety shows the Erymanthian Boar on the reverse.&nbsp; This one, which seems a little scarcer, shows the club of Hercules.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;ve got any little Imperials, semises or quadrantes, here&#039;s the place to post &#039;em!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]371466[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>TRAJAN</b></p><p>AE Quadrans</p><p>2.7g, 14.2mm</p><p>Rome mint, 98 - 117 AD</p><p>RIC 699; Sear 3249</p><p>O: IMP CAES TRAIAN AVG GERM, bust of Hercules right, wearing lion&#039;s skin&nbsp; </p><p>R: Club, S-C on either side.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
