Quadrans 6 coins

These 6 coins came in a big lot of bronze Roman republic coins.
I wonder if the smallest dark green coin is a Quadrans too , no 3 dots as on the other
5 coins.

I really like the Hercules on the bottom right!

 

The bottom middle one does not look like a quadrans to me. Not sure what it is since the reverse seems completely worn down. The top middle one is a Crawford 106/7 "Staff and club" series quadrans with a staff on the reverse, thought to have been struck in Etruria during the Second Punic War, and likely under C. Calpurnius Piso(or possibly M. Marcellus, but I think that's very unlikely). The bottom left is a star series quadrans, not one I'm super familiar with, and these are somewhat complicated types, but this paper by Andrew McCabe and Richard Schaefer will help you fully ID it if you haven't yet.

I can take a look at the others later when I'm not on mobile if you'd like but you've got a nice little group of coins there.

 

Sweet lookin' bunch of examples, Andres2 => I love the top-right example with the cool stow-away on deck (horse, donkey?)

... very cool (congrats)

=> ummm, I have an AE Quadrans example (does anybody want to see it for the 942nd time?!)

 

Super cool variety of RR coins!!

 

that's fun lookin'g group, is that a donkey above the galley prow?

 

Thanks for the link red_spork , I have no ref.numbers yet, apart for the staff & club
one, thanks to you.
No idear if its donkey, horse or goat on deck , stevex6 & chrsmat71.

from the same lot:

more to come

 

First one is Crawford 72 , The second one has no dots, not sure if that is a sextans
coin.

 

Second is a Cr. 38/7 semuncia I believe. Both semuncia and sextans of this series used mercury of the style on your coin but semuncia has no dots and is generally about 5 grams.

I think Sporky asked me if it were scyphate some time ago... I think the guys wacked this one pretty hard and gave it a slight bowl-shape!

 

Thanks red_spork, beautifull Semuncia Alegandron !

The reason I bought this lot, where these As Janus coins, I think these go from around 200 BC
for the first 2 coins and then go through the 2nd Century to the beginning of the first Century BC for the last one at 15 gram.

 

Fun to have really HEFTY coins. It is why I love these Asses as well as Aes Grave.

 

A very wonderful variety has already been posted...Some of mine; Quadrans, Semis, Triens, Uncia and a Victoriatus:
