Galba is an ancient Roman ''cognomen'' borne by a branch of the patrician ''gens Sulpicia''. The name is sometimes thought to be Celtic in origin, from a root related to Old Irish ''golb'', "paunchy, fat."〔See Xavier Delamarre, entry on ''galba'', ''Dictionnaire de la langue gauloise'' (Éditions Errance, 2003), p. 174, and D. Ellis Evans, ''Gaulish personal names: a study of some Continental Celtic formations'' (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1967), pp. 293, 297, 349.〕 Suetonius offers four possible derivations, including the Gaulish ''galba'' meaning "fat."〔Other derivations from galbanum, a gum used in ancient medicine and chemical preparations; the medical treatment ''galbeum''; and ''galbae'', a type of insect: Suetonius, ''Galba'' 3, Bill Thayer's edition at (LacusCurtius. )〕 ==Republican Rome== *Publius Sulpicius Galba Maximus, consul and dictator of the 3rd century BC, who fought against Hannibal *Servius Sulpicius Galba (consul 144 BC), soldier, politician and orator of the 2nd century BC who served as consul in 144 BC *Servius Sulpicius Galba (consul 108 BC), soldier, politician and orator of the 2nd century BC who served as consul in 108 BC *Servius Sulpicius Galba (praetor 54 BC), politician and military officer of the 1st century BC 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「Galba (cognomen)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
