Marcus Claudius Marcellus
Marcus Claudius Marcellus (late 2nd to mid 1st century BC) was a politician and senator of the Roman Republic. He belonged to the "tribus" Arnensis. He was the grandson of another Marcus Claudius Marcellus (cos. 166, 155 and 152 BC) and the father of two later consuls: Marcus Claudius Marcellus (cos. 51 BC), and Gaius Claudius Marcellus (cos. 49 BC). The Claudii Marcelli were a plebeian family, members of the "nobiles" with a long history of consulships throughout the history of the Republic.
