The Coins of Pontius Pilate THE SIMPULUM A fairly frequent symbol from the Roman religion of the time, the simpulum was a utensil used by the priests during their religious ceremonies. This little ladle, provided with shaft and a handle, allowed the priests to taste the wine which they poured onto the head of an animal destined for sacrifice. THE THREE EARS OF BARLEY The three ears or barley are featured on the opposing face of the simpulum. THE LITUUS The lituus was the wooden staff which the augurs held in the right hand; it symbolized their authority and their pastoral vocation. THE WREATH The laurel wreath is a symbol of power and victory, and figures on various ancient Greek and Roman coins. THE DATES The "L" is an abbreviation meaning "year". Tiberius became emperor on September 17 of year 14 C.E, so we have : LIS = Year 29 C.E. * LIZ = Year 30 C.E. * LIH = Year 31 C.E.
