-'''Valerius Gratus''' was the Roman governor of Judea, from 15 CE to 26 CE, under Emperor [[Tiberius]].
-==Overview==
-In 15 CE, the new Emperor [[Tiberius]] appointed Valerius Gratus to succeed [[Annius Rufus]] as the Roman Prefect of Judea. Gratus' tenure was characterized by the deposition of the High Priest [[Annas]] and the repeated changes he made in the appointment of the high priesthood. Annas however remained the éminence grise controlling de facto the Jewish high priesthood, having his son [[Eleazar ben Ananus|Eleazar]] (16-17) and then his son-in-law [[Caiaphas]] (18-36) holding the position. In 26 CE [[Pontius Pilate]] took Gratus' place.
