AD 81 - c. AD 161. RIC II (Anonymous Qudrantes) no. 32. Another specimen of this coin found at Goostrey (Cheshire – LVPL-05B7D1) Quadrantes are extremely rare as site finds in Britain. They were struck mainly for use in Italy. As of May 2007, three other quadrantes have been recorded on the PAS database: Goostrey (Cheshire – LVPL-05B7D1), Beverley (Yorskshire – YORYM – C11BD1), Colchester (Essex – EE5CF3) and Kempsey (Worcestershire – WM1D2874). The quadrans was the smallest Roman denomination – there were 4 quadrantes to an As, therefore 64 quadrantes to the denarius, and 1,600 to the aureus. They often do not record the name of the emperor so can be quite difficult to date precisely. It is generally thought that they date to the period c. AD81 - c. AD161.
