Denarius Portraying Julius Caesar ‎The fortress-like structure of the King David Hotel dominates Jerusalem’s skyline when photographed from the western wall of the Old City. Another hotel bearing the name of a great king, Solomon, looks from here like a block of stone piercing the sky. The Yemin Moshe neighborhood with its red tiled roofs tumbles down the hillside, engulfed in green.

Denarius Portraying Julius Caesar ‎In Roman civil war, Julius Caesar defeated Pompey, who had captured Jerusalem in 63 B.C. Rome’s Senate named Caesar dictator in 45 B.C. This silver Roman denarius, minted 44 B.C.—the year Caesar died—portrays him with the legend “Caesar, Perpetual Dictator” (obverse). The reverse features fasces and axe—authority symbols—with clasped hands, a globe, and the caduceus, Mercury’s winged serpent staff (also a symbol of peacemaking). The inscription names the mint director. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship ended the Roman Republic. Later imperial titles included his surname ( Phil 4:22 ). ‎ Matt 22:17 , 21 , Luke 2:1 , John 19:12 , Acts 17:7 , Acts 25:8–12 , 21 , Phil 4:22
