| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large rayed wheel or star pattern occupying the full flan, with multiple radiating lines extending from a central boss to the periphery, creating a spoke-like or solar motif. The design is deeply cast in high relief, characteristic of Central Italian aes grave coinage of the third to second century BC. The surface retains a heavy green patina with areas of earthen encrustation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Heavy cast aes grave of this type circulated before Rome had fully consolidated monetary authority over central Italy, issued by a mint that scholars have never conclusively identified. The absence of the caduceus — present on closely related types — marks this as a distinct emission, not a die slip or workshop variation, and the distinction has been recognized since Haeberlin's foundational 1910 study of aes grave coinage.
At over 62 grams, this quadrans adheres to a weight standard that was already becoming obsolete as Rome's military campaigns drove progressive reductions in the as series throughout the third century.
