Even though Jesus was not a Roman Citizen, of circumstances should an Appeal have been made to Caesar?

Question

exactly hobbes and such should be corrected to better correctly reflect Roman Law...

under Roman Law Pontius Pilate would have authority to make the Appeal to Caesar...under the circumstances...

think not "cp" for under the consequences and the effect, Pontius Pilate could have made the Appeal to show more Roman Authority of innocence of any "crime" under Roman Law... I would like to see rebellion of Caesar's Decree of execution prohibited under Roman Law...

would not have even been required to speak, even under "our" law of counsel, Authority to Appeal to Caesar was preserved under Pilate, considering wrongful execution under Roman Law...

Answer 1

Because he was not a citizen, he had no right of appeal. Pontius Pilate would have had the authority, but no inclination, to make an appeal of his own decision. The crime Jesus was condemned for was an extremely high priority of the Roman Empire: The government had executed other insurrectionists and would execute more.

Answer 2

An appeal could have only been declared by Roman authority.
Also, legally no, an appeal to Caesar was reserved for Roman citizens, eg, Apostle Paul invoked his Roman citizenship an was granted an appeal. Along the way, Paul witnessed to many and viewed their conversion to Christianity.

Answer 3

not under roman law. the appeal to Caesar was a priviledge and expressly reserved for Roman citizens. Non citizens were to be judged by Governors.

Any Governor who would ask for Caesar's opinion on such a routine matter would be showing his incompetence. The "crime" of Jesus under Roman law was publickly claiming that there was a higher God than Caesar (and Caesar was a "god" under Roman law, which meant his empire was the best of all worlds)

Answer 4

No.

If you are Christian, it was meant to be.

If you are Atheist why would they waste the time and effort to communicate hundreds of miles over a petty, local political situation?

Answer 5

No, you've mistaken the Romans for someone who gives a hoot about some raggedy *** barbarian, starting yet another corn god religion.

Answer 6

Perhaps...but that might've spoiled the story...

Answer 7

each man will seek his own salvation

Answer 8

maybe...
