A barbarian does not die the equal of a Roman.
~ Proculus to Atticus, just before the latter kills him.

Marcus Proculus is the secondary antagonist of the 2014 3D historical action drama film Pompeii. He is second-in-command of the film's main antagonist; Senator Quintus Corvus who was bent on helping his lord in his plans.

He was portrayed by Sasha Roiz.

History[]

Proculus is second-in-command of Senator Quintus Corvus, a highly corrupt and ruthless senator in the employ of the Roman emperor Titus. He first appears next to his master and on his orders, he executes all Celts survivors of the village (which, a young boy named Milo survives).

Many years later, he accompanies his master Corvus to Pompeii.

Later, he watches alongside Corvus, Cassia, Severus (the ruler of Pompeii and Cassia's father) and Aurelia (the wife of Severus and Cassia's mother) the battle between Milo, now a gladiator, and [w:c:protagonist:Atticus (Pompeii)|Atticus]] (the best gladiator of Pompeii's arena and Milo's friend) and men equipped as Romans. After Milo and Atticus win the battle, Proculus stops a spear that Milo has hurling at Corvus. Corvus then sent him to fight Milo one-on-one. Proculus overpowers Milo, but before he can kill him, the Mount Vesuvius erupts, creating massive tremors that cause the arena to collapse, sending both Milo and Proculus crashing to the jail levels. Then, there goes a brutal fistfight in which Proculus gained the upper hand but is forced to escape when Milo opens up the gates to allow his fellow gladiators a chance to attack; killing the guardian Bellator in the process.

At the end of the film, while Milo pursues Corvus, Proculus fights the best friend of Milo, a gladiator named Atticus, and manages to mortally wound him, but he manages to break Proculus's blade. Proculus then pleads for his life but Atticus kills him by piercing him in the neck with the broken blade. Alongside Atticus, Proculus's body was later incinerated by a pyroclastic surge of the Mount Vesuvius.
