There is a curious statement by Theodore Mommsen to the effect that the Ius Gladii was not exercised by Roman governors of Judea.
Rather a surprising assertion in my opinion considering the well publicized accounts of Jesus and others by Josephus. On the other hand, Mommsen is quite a high calibre historian so I'm wondering what is the basis for his assertion and if there are other opinions that concur with him.
Any input on this? Thanks in advance
