Description: | Contemporary silver plated copy of a denarius of Tiberius (AD 14-37). This type of denarius is commonly referred to as the 'Tribute Penny' of the Bible (Matthew 22, 17-21).
This coin has an irregular die axis (3 o'clock) and another denarius of Tiberius, also with an irregular die axis, was recovered from the floor of the officers' quarters in one of the barracks within the fort during its excavation.
The flan has recent rim damage below the Emperor's portrait on the obverse and the deliberate defacement of Livia on the head of the figure on the reverse. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 14
