The personification of Autumn
Lot 4291
Anonymous issues, time of Hadrian to Antoninus Pius, 117-161. Quadrans (Copper, 17 mm, 3.31 g, 12 h), Rome. Head of the personification of Autumn as a young boy to right, wearing wreath of vine-leaves and grapes on his head and around his neck. Rev. S•C within wreath of vine-leaves and grapes. Cohen VIII, p. 270, 31. RIC II, p. 219, 34. Van Heesch 2 and pl. XXV, 4. An unusually attractive example of particularly fine style. Minor deposits, otherwise, good very fine.

The young child portrayed on the obverse of this series of quadrantes was long regarded as Annius Verus, the second son of Marcus Aurelius. However, modern research has shown that these coins show personifications of the four seasons - in the case of this coin, it is the personification of Autumn.
