John 18:28 - Additional Comments

In the Gospels (Matt 27:27), the Praetorium denotes the building Pilate occupied at the time of Christ's Passion. It originally signified the general's or praetor's tent in Roman camps; then it was applied to the military council sitting there in judgment, and later to the official residence of the provincial governor, a palace or castle. There were two castles of this kind, both built by Herod. The first rose on the site of the tower of Birah (Baris). The tower of Baris stood on a rocky mass at a distance of 100 yards from the north-west corner of the Temple enclosure. On this rock, now occupied by the Turkish barracks, Herod built a new fortress. The castle, called Antonia in honor of Mark Antony, is described by Josephus in glowing terms. Some years later, Herod built a second palace, on the northern brow of Mount Sion, at the western extremity of the town. That Pilate resided in one of these two castles when Jesus was brought before him can scarcely be doubted; and the early tradition which locates the praetorium in the fortress of Antonia is well supported by history and archaeology.
