Marinus (401–501)

Born 401 CE, died 501 CE.

Marinus (Greek: Μαρίνος) was one of the most trusted and senior aides of the Eastern Roman emperor Anastasius I (r. 491–518). He served twice as the praetorian prefect of the East, supervised some of Anastasius' tax reforms, supported the Emperor's pro-Monophysite policies and led the Roman navy in a crucial battle that ended the rebellion of general Vitalian in Thrace decisively. He survived into the regime of Justin I (r. 518–527), when he served his second tenure as the praetorian prefect, but was soon sidelined from power and died sometime before 539 AD.
