Marcianus

Japanese: マルキアヌス - まるきあぬす(英語表記)Marcianus
Marcianus

Byzantine Emperor (reigned 450-457). He was a former officer under Aspar, the chancellor under Theodosius II, and after the death of the emperor, he married Pulcheria, Pulcheria's sister, and ascended to the throne. His reign was peaceful both at home and abroad. His greatest achievement was convening the Fourth Ecumenical Council (451) in Chalcedon. At this council, Monophysites and Nestorians were rejected as heretics, and the Constantinople faction in the capital gained the upper hand over the Alexandrian and Antiochene factions, which were the mainstream in the orthodox-heresy debate in the first half of the 5th century. In addition, Article 28 of the Council stipulated that the Patriarch of Constantinople and the Pope of Rome have equal status in law, but that the Pope of Rome is recognized as having honorary primacy.

Japanese:

ビザンティン皇帝(在位450~457)。元テオドシウス2世治下の宰相アスパー麾下(きか)の将校で、同帝の没後その姉プルケリアと結婚して即位。その治政下は内外ともに平穏であった。彼の最大の業績は第4回公会議(451)をカルケドンに招集したことにある。この会議では、キリスト単性説とネストリウス派を異端として退け、5世紀前半の正統・異端論争で主流を占めたアレクサンドリア派、アンティオキア派に対し、首都のコンスタンティノープル派が優位にたった。また、議決第28条ではコンスタンティノープルの総主教とローマ教皇は法律上同等の地位を有すること、ただしローマ教皇には名誉上の首位権が認められること、の2点が定められた。
