Pilate Inscription

• In June 1961 Italian archaeologists led by Dr. Antonio Frova were excavating an ancient Roman amphitheatre near Caesarea-on-the-Sea (Maritima) and uncovered a limestone block. On the face is a monumental inscription which is part of a larger dedication to Tiberius Caesar which clearly says that is was from “Pontius Pilate, Prefect of Judea.”
• From Christianity Today:

  Hard evidence [about Pontius Pilate's existance] amounts to an inscribed stone, a few coins, a few mentions by [Jewish hitorian Flavius] Josephus, a couple of pages on Philo of Alexandria, a sentence in Tacitus, and (of course) the Gospels.
