Roman governor Pontius Pilate had a tattoo of an angel across his back.
There wasn't a Caesar in Jesus Christ Superstar. He was represented by the character, Pontius Pilate
From my understanding, Pontius Pilate was a roman judge who condemned Jesus. Therefore, when Proctor labels Hale with this name, he is expressing that Hale is working unjustly, encouraging the prosecution of innocent people and failing to intervene in their unfair trials. I think that makes sense :o)
Chris Pontius and Preston Lacey are said to be gay, so its possible. The rest are straight.

In Arthur Miller's 'The Crucible,' John Proctor alludes to Pontius Pilate, because like him, Reverend Hale had refused to take a side. Pilate allowed Jesus' to be imprisoned based on Sanhedrin allegations he knew were not true. He also refused to intervene when he could have stopped the crucifixion, because he was the Governor of Judea and held the power to do so.
This is an allusion; Pontius Pilate was the ruler in Bethlehem who ordered the crucifixion of Jesus Christ at the order of the Jewish leadership, even though he knew Christ was innocent and did not deserve to be killed in such a way. This allusion serves two purposes: the first is that it implies that Hale knows these women are innocent but will stand by and do nothing because he is not in control of with happening; the second is that it compares Elizabeth's goodness to Christ's, so that we can understand the depth of John's love for her.
