Dupondii and Asi
A copper As was worth four Quadrans. A brass Dupondius (the same size as the as) was worth two asi. Two dupondii made one sestertius. Often the Emperor was shown wearing a radiate crown (as opposed to the usual laurel wreath) on the dupondius to help distinguish it from the similar sized (but different coloured) as.
