Julius Marinus was the father of Roman Emperor Philip the Arab and Philip's brother Gaius Julius Priscus. He was deified by his son. Scholar Pat Southern writes that this deification was unusual because Marinus was not an emperor, but it gave Philip's reign more legitimacy.〔Pat Southern , ''The Roman Empire from Severus to Constantine'' (Psychology Press, 2001), (71 ).〕 He was a Roman citizen from what is today Shahba, about southeast of Damascus; in the Trachonitis district and then in the Roman province of Arabia In life Marinus was possibly of some importance.〔Meckler, ''Philip the Arab''〕 Many historians〔''The Houghton Mifflin Dictionary of Biography'', Houghton-Mifflin, London 2003: p1203〕〔''Riverside Dictionary Of Biography'', Houghton-Mifflin, London 2004: p603.〕 agree Philip gained Roman citizenship through Marinus.〔Ball, Wawrick, ''Rome in the East: the transformation of an empire'', pg. 417〕 ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Julius Marinus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
