<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Archeocultura, post: 3494156, member: 97204&quot;]Most halved coins are from Augustus&#039;and Tiberius&#039; time and originate from Gaul, where the local Celtic economy was based on small copper and &#039;potin&#039; coins. The large Roman asses were unsuitable in daily commerce and were halved or even quartered. Two locally produced copper coins even made it to RIC: the INDVTILI coins without any mentioning of ruler and the eagle Augustus lightweight, both of which are now called &#039;quadrans&#039;</p><p>Attached a quartered as of Nero, a very late example.</p><p><br /></p><p>Frans[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
