-'''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.
