Pilate 2021 page 4 by ric gustafson
Pilate had the choice of how to get to Judea. He decided on a direct sea voyage. He decided on a grain fleet ship that would sail the third week of August.
The ship was called the ' Trident of Neptune'. It was about 180 feet long with a 45 foot beam. Pilate, Procula and their servants had spacious passenger cabins. An honor guard bid Pilate farewell. Sejanus gave him a governor's military standard. Pilate's name was woven into fabric. Tiberius gave Pilate a gold ring.
On day 18, the ship reached the Pharos Lighthouse at Alexandria Egypt. They spent a week there with Gaius Galerius the prefect of Egypt.
