Descrizione del rovescio	A warrior striding left, depicted in profile, bearing a round shield on his left arm and a long spear in his right hand; the figure is rendered in a schematic Italic style. The Latin legend ARIM appears in the lower field below the figure, serving as an abbreviated ethnic identifying the mint city of Ariminum.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Ariminum (modern Rimini) was among the Latin colonies established on the Adriatic coast primarily as a military buffer against Gallic incursion, and its bronze coinage reflects that frontier function — produced to pay and supply garrisons rather than to facilitate commercial exchange. The quartuncia, a quarter of an uncia and therefore a sixty-fourth of the as, represents the smallest fractional denomination in this series, which itself raises questions about how such a tiny value circulated in a colonial economy operating largely on barter and military disbursement.
