<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 3751371, member: 87200&quot;]I don&#039;t think this question can ever be answered affirmatively. However, I agree with the point that by the time of the Gospel of John was compiled there had been several emperors. Presumably the Gospel was written down based on earlier texts and /or oral tradition. Whether or not these sources detailed the ruler as Tiberius is unknown, or whether that specification would have been handed down in the tradition. I think the passage refers to &quot;Caesar&quot; in general, as representative of the Imperium, and a character reviled by Jews at the time. (Just before the revolt).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
