(Marcellinus), a Grecian and a soldier as he calls himself, was born at Antioch, and flourished under Constantius and the preceding emperors as late as Theodosius. He served under Julian in the east; and wrote in Latin an interesting history, from the reign of Nerva to the death of Valens, in 31 books; of which only 18 remain. Though a Pagan, he speaks with candour and moderation of the Christian religion, and even praises it: his hero is the emperor Julian. He died about the year 390. The best edition of his history is that of Gronovius, in 1693.
