Comments

This coin is sometimes still listed as an anonymous quadrans under the old reference RIC II, 36. The new edition RIC II.1 includes a note that RIC 36 is not in the British Museum (as asserted in the old edition) and so leaves it as ‘unverified’. However, the coin appears to be in the British Museum after all, under RIC 252, and so these entries have been combined here.
