<p>[QUOTE=&quot;thejewk, post: 3323097, member: 100136&quot;]I collect Nerva-Antonines as an area of special interest, and this has led me to consider purchasing a few of the particularly appealing Trajan and Hadrian quadrans that you regularly see floating around for little money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, this has led me to start jonesing for some of the earlier quadrans of Augustus, Claudius and Nero in particular, and indeed the denomination in general.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I am thinking of starting a second collection as a long term side project focusing only on quadrans and semis, but have a few questions. After reading in my Sear book and some online articles, and ignoring AES Grave altogether, it seems that quadrans were first produced by Augustus after his reforms, and continued to be produced up until the reign of Marcus Aurelius. </p><p><br /></p><p>Is this a correct end point, or were they ever produced after this time? Was the quadrans a denomination produced in provincial coinage before or after this time?&nbsp; Does anyone have any good reading recommendations on the subject of Roman small change?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, if you have any quadrans or semis, please post them!</p><p><br /></p><p>Many thanks, Stu[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
