EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient coins of Pontius Pilate, dating back to 30-31 AD. The bronze coins, part of a private collection, offer a fascinating glimpse into the historical significance of this Roman figure. Pontius Pilate, known as the Procurator of Judea from 26-36 AD, is famously associated with his role in the trial and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. These coins bear witness to his authority during that time period. The Greek inscription on these remarkable artifacts reveals an intriguing detail - it reads "Tiberius Emperor" encircling a simpulum and LIS (year 16). This inscription provides valuable information about the reign of Tiberius during which these coins were minted. The reverse side depicts an imperial design featuring various symbols such as scrolls and libation handles. On the obverse side, we find depictions related to currency including heads and tails along with other elements denoting denomination. As we marvel at these ancient relics, it's important to note that this particular photograph by Bridgeman Images captures every intricate detail with utmost precision. With its out-of-copyright status, this image allows us to appreciate and study these historic treasures without any restrictions or limitations. In summary, this print offers not only a visual feast for numismatists but also serves as a portal into one of history's most significant periods - shedding light on both Pontius Pilate's rule and the broader context surrounding him in ancient Rome.
