Flavius Marcianus, known in English as Marcian, (396 – January 457) was the

emperor of the Byzantine Empire from 450 until his death. Marcian’s rule marked

a recovery of the Eastern Empire, which the emperor protected from external

menaces and reformed economically and financially. On the other side, the

isolationistic politic of Marcian left the Western Roman Empire without help

against barbarian attacks, which materialized in the Italian campaigns of Attila

and in the Vandal sack of Rome (455).

Marcian was born in Thrace or Illyria. He spent his early life as an obscure

soldier. He subsequently served for nineteen years under Ardaburius and Aspar,

and took part in the wars against the Persians and Vandals. In 431, Marcian was

taken prisoner by the Vandals in the fighting near Hippo Regius; brought before

the Vandal King Geiseric (428–477), he was released on his oath never to take up

arms against the Vandals.

Through the influence of these generals he became a captain of the guards, and

was later raised to the rank of tribune and senator. On the death of Theodosius

II (408–450) he was chosen as consort by the latter’s sister and successor,

Pulcheria, and called upon to govern an empire greatly humbled and impoverished

by the ravages of the Huns.
