Israeli archaeologists have concluded that a stepped-stone street once used by Jewish pilgrims to reach the Temple in Jerusalem was built by Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea best known for washing his hands of Jesus’ fate. Assuming he really was behind the street’s construction, that suggests the historical Pilate was a more complex personality than the corrupt and ruthless figure that Jewish and Christian writers describe, the researchers say. It also sheds new light on the origins of this impressive walkway, which is now one of the highlights of a controversial archaeological park in East Jerusalem. The research published Tuesday in the peer-reviewed publication Tel Aviv: Journal of the Institute of Archaeology of Tel Aviv University analyzed coins that were found beneath and above the ancient thoroughfare. The monumental street, paved with massive stone slabs, climbs to the southern side of the Temple Mount from the pool of Siloam, running through what today is known as the City of David, the most ancient part of Jerusalem. In the early Roman period, up until the destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple in 70 C.E., it was a bustling avenue 600 meters long and approximately 8 meters wide, lined with shops, taverns and monumental features, such as a podium for public speeches. Sections of the street have been undergoing excavation since the late 19th century. Archaeologists had previously associated its construction with different rulers, from Herod the Great, who reigned over Judea from 37 to 4 B.C.E., to one of his successors. However, the more than 100 coins identified beneath the street’s paving now prove that the project must have been completed between the years 31 and 40 C.E., a period mostly covered by the rule of the infamous Pilate, explains Nashon Szanton, an archaeologist with the Israel Antiquities Authority and a Ph.D. student at Tel Aviv University who is the paper’s lead author. Just like today, coins in antiquity tended to frequently drop from people’s pockets, and could end up sealed under structures that were built subsequently. “Dating using coins is very exact,” says Dr. Donald T. Ariel, an archaeologist and coin expert with the Israel Antiquities Authority, and one of the co-authors of the article. Some coins show the year in which they were minted. If a coin found beneath a street is dated 30 C.E. then the street had to be built that same year or any time after 30 C.E., he says. Following multiple probes beneath the paving stones by Szanton and colleagues, as well as by archaeologists in previous digging campaigns, the most recent coins found were dated to 30 or 31 C.E., during the reign of the Emperor Tiberius. This means that the walkway, previously also dubbed by researchers the “Herodian street,” had nothing to do with Herod or his immediate successors, the new study concludes. It was most likely built after Rome took direct control of Judea, and specifically during Pilate’s tenure, which traditionally is set between 26 and 37 C.E. – though some researchers believe it was even longer. Some archaeologists have argued that the coins minted under Pilate could have been lost in the area that was later covered by the street long after they first entered circulation, meaning the street could have been built decades later, perhaps even just shortly before the start of the Jewish revolt in 66 C.E. that led to the destruction of the city. Not so, because then we should also find coins minted in those later periods, Szanton and colleagues counter.
