INRI meant "Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudeorum", which stands for "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews". This wasn't a praise though, but a mockery - the Romans were afraid that Jesus might rise as a political power, and decided to get rid of him. The label "INRI" on the cross was meant to mock him, and to show to people how those who styled themselves "King of the Jews" might end up.

The logic of I.N.R.I. is: Incarnation of god with Nectar of Reliever Innate(the original soul).
I: Incarnation(of God).
N: Nectar(beverage of God)
R: Reliever(deliver back).
I: Innate(the original soul).
In kingdom people follow the king. likewise the disciples follow Jesus' testimony. Therefore disciples prised Jesus as King and not by the crucifiers.

The Romans nailed that sign on there after the crucified Jesus as a mockery to him [INRI ] meaning Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews...........The Jews & the Romans wanted Jesus crucified.......because he was a troth to them ..they didn't believe in him

From the Pharisees perspective this was a crime. Jesus was calling Himself King of the Jews, but they didn't recognize His authority. They felt that it was blaspheme to make this declaration. This is what they used against Him to get Him to be condemned to death. A person's crime for the reason they were being crucified was posted above them during the crucifixion.

Jesus was being tried for the crime of declaring himself King of the Jews (treason, in other words, because Caesar was king).
It appears that Pilate also meant it as a slight to the Jewish people's wish for independence from Rome by saying, here is what happens to your king.

Its the ultimate act of forgiveness.
What do you do when someone hurts you?
Are you able to trully forgive and forget?
I dont think I could forgive the people who crucified Jesus.
I often find it hard to forgive people who offend me.
The challenge is to keep trying, even when, or especailly when, you have been deeply hurt.
You know turn the other cheek and all that.

The Romans surely meant it as a mockery.

They were mocking Jesus.
It was sarcasm.
The reason you get many answers to you questions about Jesus is actually the very same answer. They were mocking Jesus.
Shalom.

i am pretty sure it was Pilates way of asking forgivness and saying that he knew Jesus was who he claimed
im not so sure it was mocking blvr....but perhaps you are right
if it was mocking then why didnt Pilate take it down when asked ... unless he wanted to make a stand

It was done out of contempt, not praise.
