Answer:
"In the gospel of Mark, the additional, truly provocative question is asked, "Should we pay or shouldn't we?" Jesus first called them hypocrites, and then asked one of them to produce a Roman coin that would be suitable for paying Caesar’s tax. One of them showed him a Roman coin, and he asked them whose name and inscription were on it. They answered, “Caesar’s,” and he responded “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and give to God what is God’s.” " "The inscription on a coin of the period reads “Ti[berivs] Caesar Divi Avg[vsti] F[ilivs] Avgvstvs” (“Caesar Augustus Tiberius, son of the Divine Augustus”), claiming that Augustus was a god. Numismatists suggest that denarii were not in common circulation in Judaea during Jesus' lifetime and that the coin may have been a provincial rather than an imperial one."

TIBERIUS was Princeps. The future emperors GAIUS (Caligula) and CLAUDIUS were also alive, as were the Antonia, Agrippina, all the other children of Germanicus except possibly Nero Caesar (not the future emperor), plus Tiberius Gemellus, and possibly Livilla (the elder).
