When Jesus said. ‘Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s; render unto God what is God’s,’ this was probably the type of money he was thinking about.
THE CAVERN AT SPERLONGA by S.P. Kershaw.
Tiberius was very nearly killed at a seaside residence called ‘The Cavern’ (modern Sperlonga). A rock fall from the roof of this cave, which also functioned as a banqueting hall, killed several guests (Tacitus, Annals 4.59; Suetonius, Tiberius 39)

In 27 CE, having left Rome never to return, Tiberius took up residence on the isle of Capri. The rumour mill went into overdrive as a consequence.
