Marcellus was brother of Justin II and played, as patricius, an important role in Justin's accession ceremony in 565. Joh. Eph., EH 2.12, remembers that his wife Juliana was, in the early 570s, persecuted for her miaphysite convictions, but it is unclear if Marcellus himself was still alive at that point. Upon his accession, Maurice gave the large property that had belonged to Marcellus to his own relatives, as is stated in Joh. Eph., EH 5.18.
