Do not fill this in! ===Inscribed ring=== In 2018, an inscription on a thin copper-alloy sealing ring that had been discovered at [[Herodium]] was uncovered using modern scanning techniques. The inscription reads {{Lang|grc|Ξ ΞΞΞΞ€Ξ(Ξ₯)|italics=no}} ({{transliteration|grc|Pilato(u)}}), meaning "of Pilate".{{sfn|Amora-Stark|2018|p=212}} The name Pilatus is rare, so the ring could be associated with Pontius Pilate; however, given the cheap material, it is unlikely that he would have owned it. It is possible that the ring belonged to another individual named Pilate,{{sfn|Amora-Stark|2018|pp=216β217}} or that it belonged to someone who worked for Pontius Pilate.{{sfn|Amora-Stark|2018|p=218}} Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
