The 1953 film "The Robe" is based on the Lloyd C. Douglas novel of the same title about the (fictional) Roman officer who commanded the soldiers at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Marcellus Gallio (Richard Burton) is a Roman Tribune (high-ranking officer) who gets into political trouble at home in Rome and is sent to Roman occupied Palestine. The Roman governor, Pontius Pilate (Richard Boone), orders Marcellus to take some soldiers and crucify Jesus Christ on Calvary hill. While Jesus is dying Paulus (Jeff Morrow), a cynical Roman officer, picks up Jesus's robe and offers it to the men to throw dice over.

The men use a cup to throw dice for the robe.

The dice cup and some coins appear on the robe. The coins appear to be imitations of different sized Roman coins including denarius's and aes's. The prop coins here are larger than real Roman coins.

One silver coin lands on the robe.

A Roman coin from the period:

Silver, 20 mm, 3.59 gm
Struck: AD 14-37 Lugdunum (Lyon) Obverse:
Laureate head facing right
[TI CAESAR DIVI] AVG F AVGVSTVS
Reverse:
Livia as Pax seated right, holding reversed spear and olive branch
PONTIF MAXIM

This coin is believed to be the "Tribute Penny" mentioned in the Bible. Lugdunum was the main mint of Rome until Caligula had it moved to Rome.
