# Marcus Claudius Marcellus

> Marcus Claudius Marcellus was a Roman general and politician in the 3rd century BC who was elected consul of the Roman Republic five times. Marcellus gained the most prestigious award a Roman general could earn, the spolia opima, for killing the Gallic king Viridomarus in single combat in 222 BC at the Battle of Clastidium. Furthermore, he is noted for having conquered the fortified city of Syracuse in a protracted siege during which Archimedes, the famous mathematician, scientist, and inventor, was killed, despite Marcellus ordering the soldiers under his command not to harm him. Marcus Claudius Marcellus died in battle in 208 BC, leaving behind a legacy of military conquests and a reinvigorated Roman legend of the spolia opima.

*General and five time consul of the Roman Republic, awarded the Spolia opima for his victories during the Gallic and Punic Wars*
