Life

Saint Marcian the Hierarch is commemorated on 22 May (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) together with Ausonius, as a bishop. The English calendar remembers on the same day Marcian of Ravenna, bishop and confessor, around the year 127, and Ausonius, the first bishop of Angoulême; the sources do not say whether Marcian of Ravenna is the one in the Greek list. If so, he is a saint of the undivided Church.

No other details of his life are found in the sources consulted.
