Abstract
According to a recent newspaper report a letter from Pontius Pilate to the Emperor Tiberius was found in Liverpool. In this letter Pilate informs the Emperor of the circumstances of Jesus' crucifixion. He had tried hard to save Jesus' life from the fury of the Jews. He had even sent for reinforcements, 2000 men, to prevent the crucifixion but the troops arrived too late. The newspapers which reported this discovery also mention that the document from Liverpool was sent to the Vatican Archives with a request that should be examined, and that came back from Rome with an expression of the considered opinion that the letter seemed to be a forgery, but, so the report went on, it is quite possible that contains historically correct facts because was written so much closer to the time of the events described.
