Since there was a permanent garrision in the Antonia, even when Pilate was not in Jerusalem, I merely assumed the would be more than capable for this function. I would more likely thought he would reserve Roman citizens on his staff for more administrative type duties, but who can really say? Simply becasue of the rioutous state of affairs, in Pilates shoes I would have tended to use more 'expendable' non-citizen auxilliaries for what might be a dangerous assignment. After all, if they were killed, it probably meant "less paperwork" to fill out, than if Roman citizens were killed.<br>
