  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."
