Gaius Quinctius Certus Poblicius Marcellus

Gaius Quinctius Certus Poblicius Marcellus was a Roman senator active in the first quarter of the second century AD.

[1] The more common and shorter version of his name is Gaius Poblicius Marcellus;[2] he is known primarily from inscriptions.

[4] The inscription attests that at some point after his consulate, Marcellus acquired the prestigious sacral office of augur.

[6][7][8] While governor of Syria, Marcellus was awarded triumphal ornaments for his role in crushing the Bar Kokhba revolt.

[10] The Historia Augusta states that the emperor Hadrian forced one Marcellus to commit suicide,[11] but Birley rejects an identification with Poblicius.
