<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 3493569, member: 56370&quot;]Since we are celebrating Christ’s Resurrection this Sunday I wanted to post a couple recent acquisitions with a Biblical theme.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]924937[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]924939[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]924940[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the “Tribute Penny” referenced in the Gospel accounts when Jesus answered the Pharisees’ question about paying taxes (“Render unto Caesar...”).&nbsp; Since it’s a common type that circulated all over the Roman Empire, my coin probably circulated somewhere other than Judaea, but it’s still pretty cool to own one.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]924942[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]924944[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]924947[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This one was issued under Herod Agrippa I who is referenced in the book of Acts.&nbsp; Although it circulated after Jesus’ ministry on Earth, it is specific to Judaea, so there is a stronger likelihood that it could have been handled by people who knew or saw Jesus or His disciples personally.&nbsp; If only it could tell us a story...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
