Marullus was the Roman governor of Judea, from 37 CE to 41 CE, under Emperor Caligula.
Overview
In 37 CE, the new Emperor Caligula sent Marullus to succeed Marcellus as the Roman Prefect of Judea and Samaria. Marullus served during the entire tenure of Caligula, having as High Priest yet another son of Annas, Theophilus ben Ananus.
In the year 39, Marullus and Theophilus ben Ananus had to deal with the crisis generated by Caligula's orders that a statue of himself be placed in the temple in Jerusalem. The governor of Syria, Publius Petronius, who was responsible for erecting the statue, managed to delay construction of the statue until the death of Caligula in 41 CE.
At the death of Caligula, his successor Claudius, in an attempt to restore the Herodian dynasty, appointed his friend Herod Agrippa as King of Judea.
