The dodrans (Latin: lit. nine-twelfths) was an Ancient Roman bronze coin produced during the Roman Republic. The dodrans, valued at three-fourth of an as (9 unciae), was produced only twice: * in 126 BC by C. Cassius, in combination with the bes, another very rare denomination which was valued at two-thirds of an as. * in the 2nd century BC by M. Caecilius Metellus Q. f. (perhaps Marcus Caecilius Metellus, consul 115 BC), in combination with the denarius and other Æ coins, e.g. the semis, triens, and quadrans. ''Dodrans'' as a unit may refer to a time span of forty-five minutes or a length of nine inches. It has also been used to refer to the metrical pattern ¯˘˘¯˘¯, which constitutes the last three-quarters of the glyconic line. Also called the choriambo-cretic, the pattern is common in Aeolic verse. ==See also== * Roman currency * Ancient Greek coinage 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dodrans」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
