    FEATURED WEB SITE

    This week's featured web site is Jean-Philippe Fontanille's
    site on the coins of Pontius Pilate.

    "They are not really beautiful, or truly rare, nor are they of very
    great monetary value. Yet these apparently modest coins carry
    in their weight an era and an act which would have immense
    consequence to the history of the world. ... Pontius Pilate
    himself designed and put the coins into circulation, and of
    course he was the man who conducted the trial and ordered
    the crucifixion of Jesus.

    So it is that everyone, whether a believer or simply a lover of
    history or of numismatics, will find in these coins direct evidence
    of and witness to an episode the memory of which has survived
    2000 years."
