马西阿努斯(公元392年-公元457年)

马西恩出生于公元392年,是一个色雷斯或伊利里亚士兵的儿子。

他也注册成为一名士兵(在菲利波利斯),并在公元421年对波斯人服役。

公元431年至434年,他在阿斯帕尔的指挥下到非洲服役,在那里他曾一度成为汪达尔人的俘虏,后来又被释放。

随着狄奥多西二世的去世,他没有自己的继承人,东方帝国的权力本应落到西方皇帝瓦伦丁尼安三世手中,由他决定是否要单独统治或任命另一位东方皇帝。 然而,东西方之间的关系并不那么好,君士坦丁堡的宫廷和人民都会反对由一个人统治。西方的皇帝。

众所周知,狄奥多西二世本人也反对这样做,在他临终前,他对与阿斯帕尔一起在场的马尔西安说(阿斯帕尔是'士兵的主人',但他是阿里乌派基督徒,因此不适合做王位的候选人),'有人向我透露,你将在我之后掌权'。

狄奥多西二世的意愿得到了遵从,马尔西安确实在公元450年继承了他的帝位。 狄奥多西二世的妹妹普尔奇利亚同意嫁给马尔西安,因为他是个鳏夫,从而正式将他与瓦伦丁尼安家族的王朝联系起来。 西方的瓦伦丁尼安三世虽然起初拒绝承认马尔西安登上东方的王位,但后来接受了这个决定。

马尔西安作为皇帝的第一件事就是下令将克里萨皮乌斯-兹托马斯处死。 他是狄奥多西二世极不受欢迎的顾问,也是普尔克里亚的敌人。 此外,他还立即取消了支付给匈奴人阿提拉的补贴,说:"我为阿提拉准备了铁,但没有黄金。

公元451年,在卡尔西顿举行了教会大公会议,会议确定了信条,该信条至今仍是东正教的宗教教义基础。 尽管教皇利奥一世的部分要求被纳入了会议的最终协议中,但这次会议是东西方基督教会分裂的决定性时刻。

Pulcheria于453年去世,将她为数不多的财产留给了穷人。

马尔西安的统治在很大程度上没有发生任何军事或政治危机,例如西方国家发生的危机。 在某些情况下,他没有进行军事干预确实引起了批评。 特别是当他根据阿斯帕尔的建议,决定不干预汪达尔人对罗马的洗劫时。

但除了这些批评之外,马尔基安被证明是一个非常能干的管理者。 不仅因为取消了对匈奴人的进贡,而且由于马尔基安推行的许多改革,君士坦丁堡的财政状况也得到了很大的改善。

公元457年初,马尔基安病倒了,在病了五个月后,他去世了。 君士坦丁堡的人们真诚地哀悼他,他们把他的统治看作是一个黄金时代。
