After ca. 90 BC, when bronze coinage was reduced to the semuncial standard, the quadrans became the lowest-valued coin in production. It was produced sporadically until the time of [[Antoninus Pius]] (AD 138-161). Unlike other coins during the Roman Empire, the quadrans rarely bore the image of the emperor. The quadrans was also known as ''teruncius'', i.e. "three unciae".
The Greek word for the quadrans was κοδράντης ''(kodrantes),'' which was translated in the [[King James Version]] of the [[Bible]] as "[[Farthing (British coin)|farthing]]".
