Annius Gallus was the son of the Roman politician and general Appius Annius Trebonius Gallus and an unnamed Roman noble woman. His paternal grandfather could have been Appius Annius Gallus, one of the suffect consuls in the year 67. He was born into the ''gens Annia'' and was a member of the venerable family of the Annii Regilli.〔Pomeroy, ''The murder of Regilla: a case of domestic violence in antiquity'' p. 14〕 Through his father, Annius Gallus was related to the senator Marcus Annius Verus, a brother-in-law of Roman Emperor Hadrian and father of the Empress Faustina the Elder, wife of the Emperor Antoninus Pius.〔 Faustina the Elder was the mother of Roman Empress Faustina the Younger and aunt of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius.〔 In 139, Annius Gallus served as a consul.〔Pomeroy, ''The murder of Regilla: a case of domestic violence in antiquity'' p. 23〕 Although he was a distinguished Roman Senator, unfortunately not much is known on his life. Annius Gallus married Atilia Caucidia Tertulla, the daughter of Senator Marcus Appius Bradua and Caucidia Tertulla.〔Birley, ''The Roman Government of Britain'' p. 112〕〔Pomeroy, ''The murder of Regilla: a case of domestic violence in antiquity'', Genealogical Chart〕 His wife bore him two children who were: * Appius Annius Atilius Bradua, consul in 160〔 * Appia Annia Regilla Atilia Caucidia Tertulla, otherwise known as Aspasia Annia Regilla, who married the prominent Greek Herodes Atticus〔 Aspasia Annia Regilla and her husband had built an outdoor monument called an exedra at Olympia, Greece, featuring statues honoring their various relatives and members of the ruling imperial family. Among the statues was one of a toga-wearing Annius Gallus, which survives without its head, and is on display at the Archaeological Museum of Olympia. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Appius Annius Trebonius Gallus (consul 139)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
