Pontius Pilate
The link below is to an extensive article about Pontius Pilate and his place both in the Roman government's control of Palestine and in Rome's relationship to the Jews of Christ's time.
Pontius Pilate was the fifth governor of the Roman province of Judaea. His rule began in 26 AD and lasted until early in 37 AD.
Nothing is known of Pilate prior to his arrival in Judea. Advancement at the time depended on patronage; a man's chances of promotion to public office depended on connections and influences in the imperial court. In all probability, Pilate was helped to office by powerful patrons, perhaps even Tiberius himself or his powerful friend Sejanus.
