Denarius Featuring Coin-Making Tools

Denarius Featuring Coin-Making Tools




‎This silver Roman denarius, minted about 48 B.C., depicts ancient coin-making tools including an anvil, a hammer, and tongs (reverse). The conical object is either a coin die or the cap of the fire god Vulcan, patron deity of coin makers. The inscription “T. Carisius” names this coin’s maker. The obverse shows the goddess Juno Moneta, in whose temple complex on Rome’s Capitoline Hill many Roman coins were minted. Jesus referred to specific features of coins in Luke 20:24.
‎Matt 22:20, Mark 12:16, Luke 20:24
