Best Answer

It is believed that Pontius Pilate, Prefect of the Roman provice of Judaea from the year 26 to 36, was the man chiefly responsible for sending Jesus to the cross.

Pilate is best known as the man who is said to have presided over the trial of Jesus and ordered his crucifixion.

While all of the above is true, the question was pertaining to a Roma emperor, not to an official. The emperor at the time of the crucifixion was Tiberius.
