Pilate's assistant was named Radarus
Seems a bit of a stretch to me. If, at some time in the misty future, someone finds my car with a Trump sticker on it, will it be assumed that the car must have belonged to Trump?
VERY interesting! Thank you! :)
Rod Stieger did a good job as him.
Wow. That’s incredible.
Seems like to me a rich guy like Pilate could have afforded a gold ring, or at least silver. Now, a slave, or a minor functionary working for Pilate might be given a bronze ring with his name on it as a token of esteem, or means of identification.
Saw something on the tube about a popular archeologist speculating that Pilate was a creature of Sejanus. He made a case for some of his reasoning and I found it interesting.
The difference between Augustus and Tiberius was immense.

This is very possibly his ring/seal. But it could be an extra copy used by an administrative assistant on his behalf. I speculate this because Pilate was hauled back to time for being too cruel even by the Empire’s “standards.” Found guilty of oppression and executing people without trial, Pilate reportedly committed suicide in Rome under orders of Emperor Caligula ( himself about as far from a compassionate soul as possible to imagine, ha!). This according to the major church historian Eusebius. So, my guess is Pilate’s ring/ seal is buried somewhere in Rome — but this one in Israel COULD be the one he personally used (and if not, then yes it is almost certainly one he authorized an aide to use on his behalf). Either way, a fascinating find by the Israelis
Provenance? Without that it’s just an old piece of metal.
Why would a Roman emperor have a ring inscribed in Greek?
In the New Testament of the Bible, a reluctant Pilate is pressured by the demands of the Jewish crowd to order Jesus’ crucifixion.
Thank you for the clarification.

12/2/2018 was the 24th day of the 9th month, in the second year of Trump’s presidency, as the Father tells time.
Haggai 2:10
10 On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to the prophet Haggai..
Yesterday, 12/2/2018 to the world,was an anniversary of that day Haggai received Word..
He goes on further.. and this is what is interesting!
Haggai 2:20
The word of the Lord came to Haggai a second time on the twenty-fourth day of the month: 21 “Tell Zerubbabel governor of Judah that I am going to shake the heavens and the earth. 22 I will overturn royal thrones and shatter the power of the foreign kingdoms. I will overthrow chariots and their drivers; horses and their riders will fall, each by the sword of his brother.
23 “‘On that day,’ declares the Lord Almighty, ‘I will take you, my servant Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will make you like my signet ring, for I have chosen you,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”
So,on the 24th day of the 9th month, in the 2nd year of Trump (12/2/2018 to the world) , the world gets news of a signet ring affiliated with Pontius Pilate, a former governor of Judah.
The anniversary of Haggai receiving Word probably isn’t a date people circle on the calendar, but our Sovereign gave meaning to that date and meaning to Trump’s 2nd year- even if the world can’t fully see it.
For His Glory!
