It is also worth noting that in the coin hoards that are considered contemporary to this period Tiberius' denarii are a very small minority of the silver coins. This indicates that Tiberius' denarii did not circulate widely in the region, making it an unlikely candidate in itself.
Hi! This is Alexander Rugaev. Thanks for the video
Thanks for your video. Something to think about and debate with friends 👍
Any time! 🌟
Thanks for another great video! Do the Judaea Capta next!
I appreciate that you had the guts to call out which one YOU thought it would most likely have been. Too many people these days would use the copout, "We might never know, but it's fun to think about." Thanks for sharing and for offering a genuine and well informed opinion.
Great investigation work Leo.
Super interesting, and very well put together video. Thank you! Regards from Canada 🇨🇦
I just recently got a denarius of Augustus, in the type of the one shown
Agreed , another excellent video. Thanks Mike
I've read that the famed "tribute penny" was either the Augustus or Tiberius denarii both struct in Lugdunum or it was a larger provincial silver coin with the bust of Augustus on it.
The only Biblical coin I have is a widow's mite that my mom gave me and is presented in this lovely booklet that has all the info and a certificate of authenticity. I've always wanted to get a tribute penny one day if I save enough money!
Hi Leo, yes the term 'penny' is the classic English translation of 'denarius', but indeed until the 2nd century AD there are very few finds of Roman imperial denarii in this area (Judaea). However, denarii of Tiberius were minted from AD 14, and the ministery (as they call it) of Jesus took place in the early (in my view, mid-) 30's, so the coins had plenty of time to arrive there. As for the Cappadocian drachm, it was struck in what Butcher correctly calls the "Rhodian" standard, so it was valued at 3/4 of a Roman denarius or 'penny'. Syrian provincial silver was, on the other hand, plentiful all over Palestine.
There's rumors that the "Tribute Penny" WASN'T the Augustus or Tiberius Denarius minted from Lugdunum, it was infact a bigger silver Roman provincial coin of Augustus.
It was awesome, although I'm not the biggest fan of the type.
Hey man, great video. This is on a Severus Alexander denarius. Was wondering what it means? IMP SEV ALE - XAND AVG
IMPERATOR SEVERUS ALEXANDER AUGUSTUS
@@ClassicalNumismatics it looks so obvious now haha. Thank you!
The lord and savior would not tell me to pay taxes, he would eliminate them.

I think the 1st coin only
I know we want to assume that "denarius" is an accurate word, but it is entirely possible that was mistranslated over time since the coin type itself doesn't matter. It is worth mentioning, even if you do not support it, that it could have been a prutah, which were absolutely EVERYWHERE at this time and also bore the name and title of Caesar on them. If Jesus had asked a random person on the street for a coin, it would almost certainly be a prutah -granted, he was conversing with religious officials iirc who would have probably had access to more valuable coins.
I do think it was more likely a silver coin, and I think your conclusion IS the most likely, but it is worth a mention that a prutah is a possibility considered by some.
Check out late Greco Bactrian coinage……and yhuezi continuation……gods bless
I think it just had to have been a dogecoin.
