<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carausius, post: 2957769, member: 76440&quot;]Agree with [USER=74282]@red_spork[/USER] .&nbsp; It&#039;s the Rostrum Tridens series, Crawford 114/5.&nbsp; Rostrum Tridens refers to the symbol located above the prow on the reverse of your quadrans.&nbsp; In this case, the symbol is a rostrum tridens, which is the beak or ram portion of a Roman galley (used for ramming and sinking enemy vessels).&nbsp;&nbsp; Also, it is a scarce coin, with only 7 examples in the Paris collection reported by Crawford.&nbsp; Below is my example of the larger As coin of the same series, again with a rostrum tridens anove the prow.&nbsp; Odd thing about this series is that on the Asses, the rostrum tridens symbol faces left, but on the smaller denominations (like your quadrans) it faces right.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]723394[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
