Hello friends of T. Net! :hello:
Today started a new vineyard area, and e have been fortunate to find a Roman Villa with 17 Roman coins, a Napoleonic Button, Silver Medal, a figure pilgrim and gold-plated frame of the Middle Ages where can look a temple or castle engraved . :o

Gold was one of the main exports coming out of Spain during the Roman Empire as well as silver,copper,olive oil,etc. So, I suppose there's a good chance that Roman coins (including gold)were minted in Spain.
 
Cru'Dad has a question on the Quadrans;

If its weight is about 11gms it is circa 211-206BC as per 2000 Sears 1037 with a head of Hercules – which was the standard type for a quadrans and not Minerva. If the coin is lighter at about 3.25 gms it is circa 91BC as per 2000 Sears 1195. If it is circa 38gms then that would be a 215-211BC variant under 2000 Sears 608.

Whats the weight?
