Appius Annius Trebonius Gallus (consul 108)

Last updated

Appius Annius Trebonius Gallus was a Roman senator, who was active during the reign of Trajan. He was ordinary consul in 108, as the colleague of Marcus Atilius Bradua. [1]

Trebonius Gallus was born into the plebeian gens Annia. [2] His father may have been Appius Annius Gallus, one of the suffect consuls of the year 67; according to Olli Salomies, there is a consensus that his mother was probably Trebonia, a daughter of Publius Trebonius, consul suffectus in 53. [3] Gallus was related to the senator Marcus Annius Verus; Verus was a brother-in-law of Hadrian, and the father of Faustina the Elder, wife of Antoninus Pius and aunt of Marcus Aurelius. [2]

Gallus had a son named Appius Annius Trebonius Gallus, who was consul in 139.
