The Roman government minted a number of coins during Biblically significant times. Two coins in particular were referenced in scripture, which were the Tribute Penny and the Thirty Pieces of Silver (shekel). Other coins, while not referenced in scripture, were minted under the rule of people who were mentioned in the Bible, such as Herod, Pilate, Felix and Festus. Also included in this site are Jewish Revolt coins of 68ad (prior to destruction of the Temple) and coins minted by the first Christian Emperor of Rome, Constantine I.
