Biography Marsus was Suffect consul for the second half of the year 17 with Lucius Voluseius Proculus as his colleague. He was mentioned in the year 19 as one of the most likely persons to obtain the government of Syria, but the post wound up going to Gnaeus Sentius Saturninus instead. In the same year he was sent to summon Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso to Rome to stand his trial. His name occurs again in 26, in the debates of the Senate; and just before the death of Tiberius in 37 he narrowly escaped his own death, being accused as one of the accomplices of the notorious Albucilla. According to Tacitus he was governor of Syria 42-44/45, during the reign of Claudius. The name of "Gaius Vibius Marsus", proconsul, appears on several coins of Utica in Africa, struck in the reign of Tiberius: they probably relate to this Vibiu ...

Marsus Municipium
San Benedetto dei Marsi ( la, Marruvium, ; grc, Μαρούϊον, translit=Maroúïon) is a ''comune ''and town in the province of L'Aquila in the Abruzzo region of central Italy. It is on the eastern shore of the dried Lake Fucino, from the remains of another ancient site, Alba Fucens. Near the town is the stream Giovenco, identified as the ancient stream known as ''Pitonius''. History The ancient ''Marruvium ''was the chief city of the Italic tribe of the Marsi; ''Marruvii ''or ''Marrubii '' is another form of the name of the Marsi, and was used by Virgil as an ethnic appellation. In accordance with this, Silius Italicus also describes Marruvium as deriving its name from a certain Marrus, who is evidently only an eponymous hero of the Marsi. There is no account of Marruvium, however, previous to the Roman conquest of the Marsic territory; but under the Roman Empire it was a flourishing municipal town; it is noticed as such both by Strabo and Pliny, and in inscriptions we ...
