A native of Sinope in Pontus, he was born c. 85 and must have died c. 159, since there is no suggestion in our sources that he survived until the reign of the emperor Marcus Aurelius (161 – 180).
Marcion of Sinope (ca. 110-160 C.E.) was a Christian theologian who was excommunicated by the early church at Rome as a heretic; Nevertheless, his teachings were influential during the second century, and a few centuries after, thus forming a counter-point to emerging orthodoxy.
Marcion, a shipowner from Sinope in Pontus, arrived in Rome sometime around 140 ce. Of his life prior to his arrival in Rome, we know almost nothing. Upon his arrival, Marcion provided its church with a healthy sum of money—200,000 sesterces—and seems to have flourished within the Roman Church until the summer of 144 ce (Tertullian, praescr. 30.2).
