MARUS
MARUS a tributary of the Danube, into which it flows from the north. Between it and the Cusus a band of exiled Marcomannians received settlements from the Romans under Tiberius. (
Tac. Ann. 2.63; Plin.
H.N. 4.25.)
It is generally believed that this river is the same as the
March in
Moravia; but it is more probably identical with the
Marosch, which the ancients generally call Marisus. [
