a PETROnius to guard the tomb in GPeter.

And Pilate gave them Petronius the centurion with soldiers to guard the tomb.

Obviously the stone before the tomb was not sufficient.

I point out this "coincidence" to raise a rethorical question:

If the name of a Roman is already introduced for symbolic reasons in a Gospel, then why not also the name of the Roman Pilatus?
