Ulpius Marcellus was a Roman Equestrian and member of gens Ulpia. He was a lawyer from Asia Minor.[1] It is possible he was an advisor to Antonius Pious and Marcus Aurelius.[2] However, most likely he wasn't an advisor. This is because of the lateness of his time and the fact that he is not an advisor to Hadrian. Marcellus also wrote several books. The jurist Ulpius Marcellus could be the same Ulpius Marcellus as the Ulpius Marcellus that was a legate and the one the governed Britannia. However, it is unknown if that is the case.
