GALERIE FOTO: Misterul inelului vechi de 2.000 de ani cu „Ponțiu Pilat”

A copper ring inscribed with the name of Pontius Pilate was discovered at Herodium, dating back to the 1st century BC. Initially deemed insignificant, recent analysis suggests it may have belonged to a servant of Pilate, reflecting the administrative practices of Roman Judea. The inscription's unusual form raises questions about its meaning and the transliteration from Latin to Greek, indicating a connection to local elites and the Roman administration. This discovery sheds light on the daily operations during Pilate's governance.
