In 307 Constantine and Licinius issued the famous Edict of Milan, which granted complete religious tolerance of all citizens of the Roman Empire. In doing so he changed the history of the world and set a new course for Christianity, which until then had suffered persecution.
- Shekel of Tyre: (c. 75-74 B.C.) Bibilical Judaean taxes were specified in shekels, but the Jews had no silver coins of their own. Temple Priests devised a practical solution to use Tyrian coins, known for their good silver quality, even though they went against prohibitions of the First Commandment. It was most likely a Shekel of Tyre that Jesus and Peter used to pay the Temple tax (Matthew 17:27). These coins were also likely used in the infamous thirty pieces of silver payment to Judas (Matthew 26:15).
- Widows Mite Coin Jewelry: (c. 103–64 B.C.) From a famous Bible passage (Mark 12:41), the “Widows Mite” is a small ancient Judaean coin in circulation during the lifetime of Jesus. It reminds us that a gift or donation, however small, is special when it is a sacrifice. Various designs on the coins include wheel with spokes, double cornucopias, palm branch, and circle containing anchor.
