| Beschrijving keerzijde | A triskeles motif occupies the central field, depicted as three legs or running limbs radiating from a central point, rendered in low relief typical of cast aes grave coinage. Three pellets positioned around the triskeles reaffirm the quadrans value mark. The reverse surface is uneven and porous, reflecting the primitive casting technique employed by Central Italian mints of the third to second century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The cast bronze coinages of uncertain Central Italian mints present persistent attribution problems that have occupied scholars since Haeberlin's foundational typological work in the early twentieth century. This quadrans falls into a cluster of heavy aes grave issues whose city of origin remains unresolved — the candidates include several Samnite and Latin communities whose monetary output overlapped considerably during the Second and Third Samnite Wars.
At this weight, the piece conforms to the uncial or pre-reduction Roman standard before the Hannibalic War forced successive debasements that collapsed cast bronze coinage almost entirely by the late third century.
