Marcellus (prefect of Judea)
- Marcellus (prefect of Judea)
-
Marcellus was Roman Prefect of the province of Judea.
He was a friend of Lucius Vitellius (ib. 4, § 2), who appointed him after sending Pilate to Rome (in 36 or 37) to render account. It may be assumed, however, that Marcellus was not really a governor of Judea, but only a subordinate official of Vitellius. Indeed, this is the only instance where Josephus, in designating the office of Marcellus, uses the expression epimeletes (ἐπιμελητής) = "overseer", which is uncommon, and we are not certain whether Marcellus really had the powers of a prefect, or was merely a caretaker. No official act of Marcellus is reported. In 37, he was replaced by Marullus.
