Anonymous issues. temp. Hadrian–Antoninus Pius, AD 117-161. Æ Quadrans (15mm, 2.53 g, 12h). Rome mint. Winged petasus (cap of Mercury) / Winged caduceus; S C flanking. RIC II (1st edition) 32; Cohen 36. Green patina, areas of roughness. VF.

From the Mercury Group Collection.

The series of Imperial-era anonymous quadrantes portrays eleven deities: Jupiter, Minerva, Roma, Neptune, Tiber, Mars, Venus, Apollo, Mercury, Bacchus/Liber, and Hercules, as well as the Four Seasons. They invariably depict either a portrait on the obverse and an attribute of the deity on the reverse, or otherwise an attribute on either side. These designs appear to be influenced, but not directly copied from, earlier designs of the Republican period.

Closing Date and Time: 20 October 2021 at 12:44:20 ET.
