a quadrans
| Morphological Notes | Noun, nominative, masculine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,NMS); denotes one specific coin in subject form. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Quadrans" directly reflects the Latin-derived term for a Roman coin worth one-quarter of an as, preserving its specific monetary identity rather than generalizing to "penny." The nominative masculine singular form denotes a single coin as the subject or predicate noun. |
