Marinus Sebastus (Italian: Marino Sebaste) was a scion of the dynasty of the Sergi (Dukes of Naples) and the Amalfitan family of the Capuano.
He was a sebastos who was elected Duke of the Republic of Amalfi in 1096 in opposition to Norman suzerainty.
It was at this siege that Bohemond met travelling warriors on the First Crusade and left to join them with an army.
After his victory, Marinus strengthened the defences of the city and added 20,000 Saracen troops to the navy.
He also created the ordo curialium, a court of justice, and recognised the autonomy and democracy of the citizenry.
