Marcian's reign ended on 27 January 457, when he died, possibly of gangrene.[80][67][81] Theodorus Lector and Theophanes the Confessor say that Marcian died after a long religious procession from the Grand Palace to the Hebdomon, where he made the journey on foot, despite the fact that he could barely walk because of severe foot inflammation, possibly gout.[3][82][83] He was buried in the Church of the Holy Apostles, in Constantinople, next to his wife Pulcheria,[3][82] in a porphyry sarcophagus that was described in the 10th century by Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus in the De Ceremoniis.[84] He left the Eastern Empire with seven million solidi in its treasury, an impressive achievement considering the economic ruin inflicted upon Eastern Rome by the Huns, both through warfare and the massive subsidies they received under Theodosius.[85] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6367.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6367.txt
