Galba

11. Sulpicius Galba, a son of No. 10, and grandfather of the emperor Galba, was a man devoted to literary pursuits, and never rose to a higher office in the state than the praetorship. He was the author of an historical work which Suetotonius calls mulliplex nec incuriosa historia. The nature of this work is unknown. (Suet. Galb. 3.)
