Description:
All Jews, ages 14 to 65, were required to pay a tax to Caesar, which went directly into the imperial treasury. They hated to pay this poll tax, which was one denarius. Denarius was the actual name of the coin. Tiberius was the emperor at that time. Embossed on the front of the coin was the face of Caesar Tiberius, which demonstrated his right to impose the tax.
