The Pilate Inscription is a block of limestone with a dedicatory Latin inscription by Pontius Pilate.
Overview
The Inscription was found in June 1961 at Caesarea Maritima by a team of Italian archaeologists led by Antonio Frova. It is now preserved at the Israel Museum at Jerusalem [Israel] (in Caesarea a replica is displayed at the ancient theater).
It is the only known occurrence of the name Pontius Pilate in any ancient inscription.
