Strong's Lexicon dénarion: Denarius Original Word: δηνάριον Word Origin: Derived from the Latin "denarius," a Roman coin. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the denarius, as it was a Roman coin. However, the concept of a day's wage can be related to various Hebrew terms for money and labor, such as "שֶׁקֶל" (shekel) in the Old Testament. Usage: The term "dénarion" refers to a Roman silver coin that was commonly used during the New Testament period. It was the standard daily wage for a laborer or soldier, making it a significant unit of currency in the economic life of the time. Cultural and Historical Background: The denarius was introduced by the Roman Republic around 211 BC and continued to be used throughout the Roman Empire. It was approximately equivalent to a day's wage for a common laborer, which provides context for its use in various parables and teachings of Jesus. The coin often bore the image of the reigning emperor, which is significant in discussions about taxation and allegiance, such as in the account of Jesus being questioned about paying taxes to Caesar.
