There are two versions of the history of his usurpation, the first told by Ammianus Marcellinus , a contemporary historian, the second exposed by Zosimus , an historian of the beginning of the 6th century. Ammianus Marcellinus version Ammianus Marcellinus underlines the fact that Marcellus was a relative of Procopius usurper Procopius a member of the Constantinian dynasty . In 365 Procopius rebelled against emperor Valens , taking the purple Marcellus became his protector and was entrusted with the defence of Nicaea city Nicaea . When, in 366, Procopius was killed, Marcellus killed Serenianus , a cruel general of Valens who had been captured by Procopius at Cyzicus , and then conquered Chalcedon . Procopius had based his usurpation on his bond with the Constantinian family and on the support by some barbaric peoples Marcellus tried to exploit his own bond to Procopius and to consolidate an alliance with Goths Gothic tribes, and proclaimed himself emperor, but his rule was short. Valens magister militum , Equitius , came to know about Procopius death and attacked Marcellus, capturing him. After few days, Marcellus and some of his supporters were put to death. Zosimus version According to Zosimus , Marcellus was sent by Procopius usurper Procopius from Constantinople into Bithynia , to counter the cavalry unit under Serenianus command and loyal to Valens . Serenianus occupied Cyzicus , but Marcellus put the city under siege and took it, forcing Serenianus to flee after a short pursue in Lydia , Marcellus killed him. After Procopius death, Valens captured Marcellus. According to Zosimus and John of Antioch , Marcellus was suspected of planning a usurpation, as he had been found with the regalia of Procopius thus Valens ordered his death and that of his family and his supporters.
