He was the son of King Arvirargus and ruled following his father s death. According to Geoffrey, he ruled wisely in the time when the Picts first came to Britain. A fleet of ships under the leadership of Sodric came from Scythia and landed in Alba ny. Once there, they began to destroy the lands and Marius was forced to react. Following numerous battles, Marius killed Sodric and set up a stone there to remember that triumph. In addition, that land became known as Westmorland after him. In respect for the people he defeated, he gave them a small portion of Albany called Caithness to live in. Marius refused, however, to give them women to marry so the Picts fled to Ireland and took wives there. Marius established close ties with Rome and good diplomacy through tribute and respect of the Roman citizens in Britain. He followed the laws of his ancestors and ruled justly. When he died, he was succeeded by his son, Coilus .

For the fictional mobster Carmine Falcone The Roman is a fiction novel by Mika Waltari published in 1964. Set in Rome, the book is a sequel to The Secret of the Kingdom , a novel about the early days of Christianity. The protagonist and narrator is Minutus, the son of Marcus, the main character of the previous novel. Minutus is a Roman citizen striving to survive without political entanglements. In the novel, he travels from Corinth to Britain, to Rome and then to Jerusalem. Through a boyhood friendship with Nero, he becomes a sometimes advisor, sometimes a tool, and sometimes a fool of the capricious emperor. A cruel fate makes him the commander of the menagerie which supplied the wild animals that tore his father and son to pieces, and the book was obstensibly written as a guide for his son, great grandson of the Emperor Claudius. As usual, Mika Waltari has a good grasp of human nature and of historical events, and can reproduce the feel of ancient Rome and the Roman world. Plagiarism of the novel In July 2008, news emerged that the novel had been plagiarism plagiarized by the tv producer Colin Slater in his novel Lindum Colonia , published in 2003. ref http svenska.yle.fi nyheter artikel.php?id 134516 yle.fi Waltari roman plagierades i USA 24.7.2008 ref References references DEFAULTSORT Roman, The Category 1964 novels Category Novels by Mika Waltari Category Historical novels Category Books about Nero Category Novels set in Ancient Rome hist novel stub it Lauso il cristiano no Romeren fi Ihmiskunnan viholliset ... more details
