Marules[1][2][3] (also spelled Marolos[4] or Maruli[5]) was the Byzantine catepan of Italy in 1060/1061. Appointed by the Emperor Constantine X, he arrived in Bari between 1 September 1060 and 31 August 1061,[1][2] according to the Anonymous Chronicle of Bari.[6] He was the first catepan appointed after Argyros left Italy in 1058. He had been preceded in 1060 by a merarches, but the latter's offensive against the Normans had peaked before his arrival and he adopted a defensive posture.[5]
Marules was succeeded by Sirianus,[5] who arrived in Bari between 1 September 1061 and 31 August 1062.[1]
