One Letter May Rewrite the Story of the Pilate Ring
The mystery surrounding the Pilate ring may have been solved with just a single Greek letter. A recent paper proposes that the inscription on the ring is Latin written in Greek characters meaning “For Pilate.” This finding does not support the notion that the ring belongs to a governor but rather suggests that it was simply a tool used by a person of lesser rank who was engaged in some business connected with Pontius Pilate’s administration.
The new study, researched and written by UCLA academic Catherine E. Bonesho has recently been published in Palestine Exploration Quarterly.
A Ring with a Puzzling Name
The ring was found in the course of Gideon Foerster’s excavations in Herodium in 1968-1969, the palace that Herod the Great built near Bethlehem. It was cleaned and submitted to sophisticated imaging techniques that revealed a vessel (probably a krater) bearing the inscription ΠΙΛΑΤΟ. The first report about the findings, published in 2018, noted a possible link with Pontius Pilate but argued that the ring in question could hardly belong to the affluent Roman governor as it was too crude and imperfect for someone of his high office.
