Denarius dating from 222-235 AD
I am a historian, so I thought it was pretty cool to get this denarius coin that was used in imperial Rome, under Severus Alexander, 222-235 AD. The most memorable passage of scripture involving the denarius is when Jesus compared The Kingdom of Heaven with The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard in Matthew 20:1-16. While clearly it is a message that the last will be first and the first will be last, I also look at this denarius as a message for me to just be a good steward over what God has given me, and not to worry about comparing that to what others receive for their works.
The other scriptures involving the denarius are when Jesus talks about Paying Taxes to Caesar in Matthew 22:15-22 and Luke 20:20-26, and Revelation 6.
