The sextans was an Ancient Roman bronze coin produced during the Roman Republic valued at one-sixth of an as (2unciae). The most common design for the sextans was the bust of Mercury and two pellets (indicating two unciae) on the obverse and the prow of a galley on the reverse. Earlier types depicted a scallop shell, a caduceus, or other symbols on the obverse.
