See Kasbegi. Quadrans, or Teruncia. The fourth part of the As. It bears on the obverse the head of Hercules and on the reverse the prow of a galley. On each side are three bosses, indicating its weight of three ounces. See Aes Grave, and Vierer. Quadrant. The same as Quadrans, but the name is also given to the copper Farth- ing struck by Edward IV for Ireland. Quadrigati. A name given in ancient times to such varieties of the Roman De^ narii as have a four-horse chariot on the reverse. Quadrila...teral Pieces. A general name given to the so-called Roman Quadrussis and Quincussis, on account of their rec- tangular shape. These curious coins bear on them repre- sentations of objects of exchange or sym- bols and allusions to the victories of the Roman armies. One of the animals de- picted on a variety of these coins is an elephant in connection with the battle of Asculum, B.C. . 279, which circumstance- would fix the approximate date of these pieces, as the elephant was unknown to the Romans before that time.
