    • Pilate stone

    1st-century piece of limestone with inscription mentioning Pontius Pilate

    The Pilate stone is a damaged block (82 cm x 65 cm) of carved limestone with a partially intact inscription attributed to Pontius Pilate, a prefect of the Roman province of Judaea from AD 26 to 36.

    It was discovered at the archaeological site of Caesarea Maritima in 1961.

    Description

    The limestone block was discovered in June 1961 by Italian archaeologist Maria Teresa Fortuna Canivet during a campaign led by Dr.

    Antonio Frova while excavating in the area of an ancient theatre built by decree of Herod the Great around 22–10 BC, along with the entire city of Caesarea. The artifact is a fragment of the dedicatory inscription of a later building, probably a temple, that was constructed, possibly in honour of the emperor Tiberius,[2][3] dating to AD 26 to 36.[4] The stone was then reused in the 4th century as a building block for a set of stairs belong
