Pilate was the 5th Roman Procurator of Judea. He was an Army man and a real mean one and the worst choice Rome could have made sending him to Judea.He pillaged the temple, turned his soldiers loose on he crowd gathering killing many innocent people. He was such a terrible Procurator that Emperor Vitellius, after Pilate senselessly wiped out an entire Samaritan village for no reason removed him from office in 36 BC. Pilate according to tradition was beheaded by Emperor Nero.
