Pontius Pilate LIH 31ad (P31LIH-62) owl

Pontius Pilate LIH 31ad (P31LIH-62) owlThis coin was minted by Pontius Pilate in 31AD as the coin is dated LIH on the reverse side within the wreath. (Note, the date is hard to read, but as these coins were minted only over 2 years, the date is not LIZ, but looks to be LIH). Based upon the year that Christ was born (many believe he was born in 3BC) many persons believe that this coin was minted in the year following Christ's crucifixion. Thus, this coin is often called a "crucifixion coin"

so that is why the word pagan came to be associated with non-Christians

It is interesting to note that the cross used in present times is the direct descendant of the lituus
