Notes

  • Note: Rostovtzeff, Römische Bleitesserae, p. 104 suggested the Gallus here is that named in the conspiracy of Piso (Tacitus Annals XV 56, 71, Prosop. II 119, n. 166), but a Publius Glitius Gallus is also known from later in the first century AD (CIL XI, 3097 and 3098, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publius_Glitius_Gallus); this Gallus held several magisterial positions (including moneyer, quaestor, praetor, and suffect consul, as well as the priesthoods of flamines Augustales.and salius Palatinus). Equally, this may be another Gallus, otherwise unknown. However, on the basis of these possibilities, a first century AD date is given to this type.
