What religious faith was Pontius Pilate?

No, the Jewish historian Josephus is the only one who provides even a little information about Pilate's life before 26 A.D. when Caesar appointed him procurator of Judea. He suggests that Pilate was probably a Roman citizen from a middle class family. As a Roman citizen of the time, he would have believed in the Roman gods that were currently in vogue. And of course, Christianity hadn't been invented, much less the Roman Catholic version of it. Jesus was a rabbi of the Nazorean sect of Judaism, and the ejection of his followers from Judaism to become Christianity came in the 90s AD. Pilate is believed to have died 36 AD.


When did Pontius pilate die?

No one knows for sure. In 178 AD the Greek philosopher Celsus wrote in his anti-Christian book, "Logos Alethes" that evidence that Jesus was not god included the fact that Pilate "did not suffer the fate of Pentheus [for rejecting a god] by going mad or being torn to pieces." Origen, a Christian writer, responded to Celsus by saying that Pilate was not truly responsible for the death of Jesus. This suggests that there was no early tradition of execution or suicide in the second or third centuries. It is known that Pilate was ordered back to Rome around 36 AD to answer charges for alleged crimes he committed in Judea, but Tiberius died before Pilate reached Rome. The crimes Pilate was accused of included an unnecessary massacre of some Samarititanson Mount Gerizem. After serving ten years, and with the transition to a new emperor (Caligula) it is reasonable to assume he was simply discharged from service to the empire and went into retirement.

Did Caesar see Jesus before he died?

No, he didn't. As a Palestinian provincial, Jesus had no right to appeal to Caesar, much less see him or be seen by him. That was a right reserved for Roman citizens. Caesar most likely would not have allowed himself to be bothered with a provincial prophet, no matter how popular or controversial He (Jesus) may have been. The most ranking Roman representative that saw Jesus was Pontius Pilate.
