== History ==
=== Origins ===
Claudius Marcellus was part of the people's council, he was well-trained politicially and came from a middle-class family which made up of only 20% of the Yutemond Senate in the early-mid century while the other 90% was made up of nobility.
=== As mentor ===
In 740 BE, Antonius joined the military staff of Lucretius, the promagistrate of Pithia at the time as chief of the cavalry. This appointment marks the beginning of his military career. As first state citizen the previous year, Lucretius had consented to the exile of Teterian by Antonius' mentor, Claudius Marcellus (who would at some point marry Cyprian).
=== Marriage to Cyprian ===
During the reign of Livia Korlat he married Sempronian Cyprian in 736 BE, not much is recorded about their marriage except it is noted that Cyprian was not close to Marcellus; he found him "wrinkly and old." According to popular sources; Marcellus raped Cyprian as he "wept" on the wedding night and when their marriage was announced the Yutemond Senate accused him of sexually abusing Cyprian. However, this is unclear.
== Execution ==
Marcellus was executed by his aunt, Livia Korlat, for some action "contrary to the law of the Gods."
