Summary: "The Procurator of Judea" by Anatole France is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the life of Aelius Lamia, an exiled Roman patrician, and his reunion with Pontius Pilate, the Roman procurator of Judea.

The story unfolds as Lamia encounters Pilate in Baiae, where they reminisce about their past interactions during Lamia's exile in Judea.
