The Message of Pilate's Wife (1886–94) by James Tissot (Brooklyn Museum). It is likely that Pontius Pilate was married. [14] It is possible that his wife accompanied him to his post as governor of Judaea (26–36/37 CE); while governors were forbidden to bring their wives to their posts under the Republic and Augustus, the law was later repealed by the Senate.
