| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central type depicting a quadrans altar or sacrificial brazier (ara) shown in three-quarter perspective, rendered as a square vessel with receding sides suggesting depth, set within the field without additional border ornament. The altar is rendered in a schematic, stylized manner characteristic of Augustan aes coinage. A circular legend surrounds the central device, naming the two moneyers responsible for the issue. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with a fine beaded border visible along the rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck under Augustus, this quadrans belongs to a series of small bronze issues produced by a rotating board of tresviri monetales — the three junior magistrates who supervised the mint. The legend records the names Apronius and Sisenna alongside the standard aes grave formula, identifying the specific magistrates responsible for this emission. Augustus revived and formalized this office as part of his broader reorganization of Roman coinage after Actium, using these men as nominal authorities while retaining effective control himself.
The quadrans was the smallest denomination in regular Roman bronze production, and issues of 5 BC show relatively tight die links suggesting a modest but deliberate output.
