Aelius Marcianus was a Roman jurist who wrote after the death of the emperor Septimius Severus and continued writing under Caracalla, and probably also wrote under Alexander Severus, whose reign began in 222. His works, excerpted extensively in Justinian's Pandects, include sixteen books of Institutiones, which were also used in compiling Justinian's own Institutions, along with shorter works on public prosecutions, appeals and other legal topics. There are 275 excerpts from Marcianus in the Pandects, and he is cited by the jurists Ulpian and Paulus.
