<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 3449290, member: 82616&quot;]While doing separate research tonight on Flavian quadrantes, I came across [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER]&#039;s wonderful page on the subject. <a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/quadrans/index.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/quadrans/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/quadrans/index.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Under references is Marvin Taemeanko&#039;s &quot;Numismatic Mystery&quot;&nbsp; SAN April 1993. In the article Taemeanko writes &quot;The largest find of quadrantes (including semises) from an archaeological site was the 1237 coins found in Pompeii in 1939. They were found in the cash box of a restaurant owned by Vestutius Placidus.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The OP hoard cited above is from the same bar in Pompeii, but only 3(!) quadrantes are listed. Is T. citing a different hoard from the same bar or is there some kind of mix-up? T.&#039;s article is from 1993, but apparently the Placidus hoard wasn&#039;t properly catalogued until 1997.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
