<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2243736, member: 42773&quot;]This is about the most succinct summation of the Tribute Penny business. Whenever someone asks me for advice about collecting one, I tell them that if they really want to cover their bases, they&#039;ve got to acquire not only the Tiberius denarius traditionally accepted as the Tribute Penny, but also the denarius of Augustus with Gaius/Lucius reverse, in addition to a few other types of Julius Caesar, Mark Antony, and Germanicus. All of them are reasonable possibilities.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I think the use of the word δηνάριον in the synopic gospels is an anachronism, and the most likely candidate for the coin is the Antiochan tetradrachm of Tiberius/Augustus. We know <u>for a fact</u>, that these coins were used to pay the temple tax in Jerusalem during the time of Jesus.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
