What is Stepped street (Jerusalem)?

The stepped street, as it's known from academic works, or the Jerusalem pilgrim road as it has been dubbed by the City of David administration, is the Roman-period street connecting the Temple Mount from its southwestern corner, to Jerusalem's southern gates of the time via the Pool of Siloam. It was used by ritual processions ascending from the pool to the Temple, Judaism's holiest site. The stepped street was built at the earliest during the 30s CE, with the latest coin found under the pavement dating to 30–31 CE, during the governorship of Pontius Pilate of New Testament fame.
