NVMMVS: D.N. MARTIANVS. P. F. AVG. (~450 A.D.)
Flavius Marcianus (natus circa annum 390 in Illyria; mortuus et mense Ianuario anno 457) fuit Imperator Romanus Orientalis ab anno 450 usque ad mortem.
De vita
Anno 431 Flavius Ardaburius Asparus dux militum a Vandalis victus est et Marcianus, qui cum eo in Africa pugnaverat, captus est. Marcianus Pulcheriae, sorori Theodosii II, nupsit, priusquam imperator factus est. Hunnis tributa recusavit et fines servavit, sed Valentiniano III mortuo Marcianus conatus est aut imperium in Imperio Romano Occidente capere aut Imperium Romanum Occidentale contra Vandalos adiuvare.
Byzantium: Marcian (392-457), Roman-Byzantine Emperor, from the book Icones imperatorvm romanorvm (Icons of Roman Emperors), Antwerp, 1645. Marcian was the son of a soldier from either Illyricum or Thracia, and spent much of his early life as an unremarkable soldier. He served under the powerful Alan generals Ardabur and Aspar in Africa, where he was taken prisoner by the Vandals. Returning to Constantinople, he became a senator and was later chosen as consort to Pulcheria, sister of the recently deceased Emperor Theodosius II. Marcian became emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire in 450.
Cf. Icones imperatorvm romanorvm (Icons of Roman Emperors), Antwerp, 1645, n. LXXXVI, pp. 173-174.
