The Definition of the word Pavement

Pavement

It was the custom of the Roman governors to erect their "tribunals in open places, as the market-place, the circus, or" even the highway. Pilate caused his seat of judgment to be set "down in a place called "the Pavement" (John 19:13) i.e., a place" paved with a mosaic of coloured stones. It was probably a place "thus prepared in front of the "judgment hall." (See" [463]GABBATHA.)
