Marcellus, Marcus Claudius

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.09 sec.

Marcellus, Marcus Claudius (42–23 BC)

Roman noble, nephew and son-in-law of the emperor Augustus. Marcellus was the son of Octavia, sister of Augustus, and Claudius Marcellus (consul 50 BC). In 25 BC he was adopted by Augustus and married his daughter Julia, and so was marked out as a likely successor to Augustus. In 23 BC Marcellus died suddenly at Baiae.
