Pontius Pilate was the prefect of Judea form the 11th to the 22nd year of the reign of Tiberius (26-36). However, he did not rule Judea. Only the emperor was a ruler everywhere in the empire. Pilate was an official of the emperor. His position administrative one. He was not even a provincial governor as Judea was a satellite of the Roman Province of Syria. Therefore, Pilate was a subordinate of the legate (governor) of Syria, whose position was also an administrative one, not a ruling one.

What emperor ruled the Roman Empire during Jesus' time?

Augustus Caesar.AnswerThe question is unclear. Augustus Caesar was the ruler of the Roman Empire when Jesus was born. Tiberius Caesar was the ruler of the Roman Empire when Jesus died. Herod the Great, although not rightfully the Jewish king of Judea, was appointed as such by Augustus Caesar and served in this capacity when Jesus was born. After Herod the Great died he was replaced by Herod Antipas who was the Roman puppet king of Judea when Jesus died. If the question is about the Roman procurator (governor) of Judea when Jesus died, he was Pontius Pilate who had twice been reprimanded by Tiberius Caesar for going too harshly on the Jews, and then he did everything within the limits of his office to spare Jesus from execution.
