The dodrans (a contraction of Latin dequadrans: "less a quarter") or nonuncium (from Latin nona uncia: "ninth twelfth") was an Ancient Roman bronze coin produced during the Roman Republic.
The dodrans, valued at three quarters of an as (nine unciae),[1] was produced only twice: Dodrans as a unit may refer to a time span of forty-five minutes (three quarters of an hour) or a length of nine inches (three quarters of a foot).
[2] Also called the choriambo-cretic, the pattern is common in Aeolic verse.
