Gallus, Tisienus

a Roman general belonging to the party of L. Antonius and Fulvia in their war with Octavianus in B. C. 41. When Octavianus made an attack upon Nursia he was repulsed by Tisienus, who had the command in the place. In B. C. 36 he joined Sex. Pompeius in Sicily with reinforcements; but after the defeat of Sextus, he surrendered, with his army, to Octavianus. (D. C. 48.13, 49.8, 10; Appian, App. BC 4.32, 5.104, 117, 121.)
