Bookmark Description Nerva, 18 September 96 - 25
January 98 A.D. The most common theme for the
quadrans was the modius, a Roman grain container.
This coin was probably redeemable for a modius of
corn. Like gold and silver quinarii, bronze
quadrans were not regularly issued denominations.
Rather, they were issued on special occasions. It
is possible that the small denominations were used
in imperial distributions. The heavier sestertii
might have inflicted injury! Suetonius notes that
Caligula had used the Basilica Julia as a platform
“from its roof Caligula threw coins among the
people.” (Suetonius, Caligula 37; Josephus
xix.11.1.11). Perhaps this small coin was thrown
to the crowd at a similar event by Nerva himself.

Concludo
osservando che, per quanto consentito da una
valutazione a distanza, le caratteristiche
fisiche, generali e di stile della moneta in esame non
sembrano discostarsi dallo standard dell'epoca. A mio
avviso, il valore venale della moneta, nello stato in
cui si trova, dovrebbe aggirarsi attorno ai 30,00€.
Un saluto
cordiale.

Dalla tabella
si evince che le caratteristiche fisiche della moneta
di figura (2,9g, 14,25÷15.8mm, 7h) non si discostano
in modo sostanziale da quelle dei conî d'epoca. La
forma ovalizzata del tondello è piuttosto
singolare ma di per sé non autorizza dubbi
sull'autenticità (certo andrebbe osservata la
struttura del bordo, allo stato non disponibile). Si
veda, ad esempio, il
link11.
(2) IMPerator NERVA CAESar AVGustus. La
moneta è databile solo genericamente; il periodo
18/09/96-25/01/98 sopra indicato coincide infatti con
l'arco temporale di governo di Nerva. Per una sintesi
biografica di questo imperatore si rimanda al sito http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_Cocceio_Nerva.
(3) Le notizie su questo conio sono scarse.
Riporto comunque quanto riferisce BMC: "I semissi e i
quadranti non datati di solito non portano il ritratto
dell'imperatore. I tipi del semisse alludono al
governo del mondo (il timone sul globo) e alla
giustizia (testa della Giustizia?), quelli dei
quadranti alludono alla prosperità (il caduceo) e ai
buoni raccolti (moggio e spighe).
