If you had the originals, they'd be beyond even the -thought- of a price.

Answer 2

Actually the thirty pieces of silver were 30 Drachma. Now the Denarius was the standard silver coin of the Roman Empire in those days. However, in the east, they continued to use Drachmas-of the Attic Talent. You see the value of a drachma was only thirty percent of the value of a denarius. And if you look at military pay records of the Roman Empire seen calculated in drachma for soldiers stationed in the east, you will find that there is seventy per cent more drachmas involved than there would be for the same amount in denarii. Of course this is because the drachma was only thirty percent of a denarius. And thus an Attic Talent being 6,000 drachma was only thirty percent of a Roman Talent of 6,000 denarii. Hence because the daily wage of the Greek world and civilization was one drachma per day for a labourer and the daily wage for a labourer in the Roman Empire was one denarius, then the wage of the workers in the Greek civilization at the time of it's height was only thirty percent of the wage of the worker in the Roman Empire at it's height. This proportion you will see if you see the Notitia Dignitatum-a latter empire logistical list. The evidence is there despite what some have said. For when you see the pay of a Militae Legionis(an ordinary Legionaire), they got 225 denarii per year at the time of Augustus. When you see it quoted in drachma you will see it at 697 drachma and 5 obols(one tenth of a drachma) Or if in a third of a year(when the legions got paid) you will see in place of 75 denarii- 232 drachma and 5 obols. Hence the comparitive values. The seventy percent advantage, and you will see it if you look at the figures, lays clearly with the Roman wages. Now there would have been some inflation-but not much.

So what Judas was paid was thirty day's wages on the old Greek system. Now the Denarius was basically equivilant of about $100 of today's values. Given what labourers get today. Therefore what Judas got was about $30 x 30 = about $900. Now this seems such a pitiful price to betray a friend for. However, Judas wasn't betraying Christ for only money. He was betraying him because of disappointed expectations. Also the priests said he could give it to the poor. However it does show what little value they put on Christ's life at the time. It shows you of what little importance and little threat Jesus was considered by the authorities(even the Sanneidran) at the time. For even Pilate(who incidently was a Procurator CC on 200,000 denarii per year) did not find anything wrong with Jesus. He considered him harmless and just wanted to give him a flogging and let him go. Nevertherless, it seems a pitiful price to gain for such infamy. Consider the eternal infamy of Judas Isacariot. Dante puts him in first place in Hell, in the very lowest circle-the ninth. Never has such great infamy been brought at such a low low price. It was lucky for Judas that he didn't do it for money. Because if he did-he better have not given up his day job. Hope this helps.
