Pontius Pilate was thought by many to be mythical until archaeologists uncovered stone ruins with his name and position carved on them in 1961. Little is known of his fate, but some historical records suggest that he was not liked by a later ruler named Caligula. According to this account, he was exiled to Gaul by Caligula where he committed suicide in about 37 or 38 A.D. (approximately 4 years after Jesus' crucifixion).
