Nazareth Inscription Recreation resin cast about 9 1/2 inches tall by 6 inches wide. The inscription is the "Edict of Caesar" prescribing capital punishment for body stealing. It was acquired by Wilhelm Fröhner (1834–1925), Paris, in 1878, sent from Nazareth. Since 1925 it has been in the Bibliothèque nationale, Paris, displayed in the Cabinet des Médailles. Most reliable scholars say that the Caesar in question was Emperor Claudius, and date it to around 41 A.D. The edict required the death penalty for robbing tombs. Pagan Romans usually cremated their dead so it is amazing that the Emperor was concerned about grave robbers. Some think this edict was the result of Jesus' resurrection.
