Tiberius became Augustus' stepson when the emperor married Livia in 38 B.C. Augustus forced Tiberius to divorce the wife he loved and marry his daughter Julia. Tiberius hated his new wife and escaped her by going into exile at Rhodes in 6 B.C.

Trajan, 25 January 98 - 8 or 9 August 117 A.D., Uncertain Provincial Mint
"A 'quadrans' was originally a Roman Republican coin which weighed a quarter of a Roman pound, or 'as'. Though produced at about 82 grams in the early third century BC, through reductions in bronze coinage weights it was struck at 2.95-3.35 grams by the time of Augustus. In Imperial times it remained relatively constant at about 3.15 gms and 14-18 mms, comprised of copper except for two years under Nero when it was reduced to 2.1 gms and struck in orichalcum. Equaling 1/64 of a denarius or 1/4 of an 'as', it was the smallest Imperial denomination normally struck, and was discontinued under Hadrian." - from Moneta Historical Research by Tom SchroerRP82862.
