<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2082123, member: 26302"]The tribute penny typically is a denarius, (a penny in the bible was referring to the small silver coin used in England, in older translations they actually said denarius), that was current at the time Jesus said this. He talked about "Caesar". Well, that was most likely either Augustus or Tiberius. People say its a Tiberius since that who was emperor at the time, but there is no real way of knowing if the coin he held was Augustus or Tiberius. Augustus ruled a long time, so most denari in circulation would have been his actually.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
