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.
He was the local govenor. He was a judge by virtue of his office. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Neither, Pontius Pilate was the Roman governor appointed to govern Roman province of Judea by the Emperor Tiberius in Roam.
Judea was governed by Roman procurators from 44 to 70. The eight procurators of Judea were: Cuspius Fadus (44-46), Tiberius Julius Alexander (46-48), Ventidius Cumanus (48-52,) Marcus Antonius Felix (52-60), Porcius Festus (60-62), Lucceius Albinus( 62-64), Gessius Florus (64-66) and Marcus Antonius Julianus (66-70).

AnswerChristianity is believed to have started in Galilee and Judea.
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.
AnswerJesus is said to have been born during the reign of King Herod the Great. He died when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea. The reigns of the Roman Emperors Augustus and Tiberius cover this period.

Judea was a province of Rome in 26 AD and thus was controlled by Rome. Its government was somewhat democratic, but answered to the Roman emperor, who was Tiberius.
Philip, the brother of Herod (?) was the tetrarch of Iturea:Luke 3:1New King James Version (NKJV)John the Baptist Prepares the Way3 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,
He preached against Herod for marring his brothers wife. This landed him in prison. He also preached against all sinners who came to get baptised to avoid going to hell without changing their ways.
When Herod the Great died his kingdom was split in thirds. His son Archaelaus was over Judea, but he had problems with the Roman government and was disposed and his territory (Judea, Samaria, and idumaea) was turned over to a Roman procurator. By the time Jesus started His ministry the procurator in Judea was Pontius Pilate. There were other Herod's from the line of Herod the Great ruling in other Providences but not in Judea.
John began his ministry around the Jordan River in the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar (Luke 3:1-3). He preached repentance to the people of Jerusalem and Judea who came to him.
Judea
Apparently it was still Darius III, since Alexander conquered the area which included Judea in the following year, 332 BCE. In that era, the Jews themselves didn't have a king.
Judea was governed by Roman procurators from 44 to 70. The eight procurators of Judea were: Cuspius Fadus (44-46), Tiberius Julius Alexander (46-48), Ventidius Cumanus (48-52,) Marcus Antonius Felix (52-60), Porcius Festus (60-62), Lucceius Albinus( 62-64), Gessius Florus (64-66) and Marcus Antonius Julianus (66-70).
Judea is not a relligion it is a country
John lived in Judea, being born circa March 4 BC. He began his preaching in the Spring of 27 AD or the 15th year of Tiberius:Luke 3:1-4New King James Version (NKJV)John the Baptist Prepares the Way3 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, 2 while Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. 3 And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins, 4 as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying:The voice of one crying in the wilderness:Prepare the way of the Lord;Make His paths straight.
