Reverse description A modius (grain measure) depicted upright in the central field, a motif frequently employed on Flavian quadrantes as a symbol of imperial provision and abundance. The encircling legend reads in full around the periphery, with S C (Senatus Consulto) prominently placed in the lower field flanking the central device, affirming senatorial authority over the bronze coinage. The overall execution is typical of the small hammered quadrans format, with a flat, irregular flan and green patination throughout.
