📌Pontius Pilate

Pontius Pilate (Pontius Pilatus) was the Roman governor who ruled the province of Judea. He is famous for sentencing Jesus to crucifixion. Because he did not appear in historical records from the Roman era, there was once a claim that he was a fictional character. However, in 1961, an inscription made during his tenure, as recorded in the New Testament, was discovered in Israel, and his name appeared on it, proving that he was a real person.
