Abstract

This paper explores the career and fall of Gaius Asinius Gallus. It argues that Gallus supported Tiberius and worked to increase the Senate's dignity, and that he mediated between the Senate and emperor. It explains Gallus' downfall in light of his career: he resented Sejanus as a threat to the Senate, and he envied his role as Tiberius' adiutor. His efforts to honour the prefect in 30 CE were not enough to save him. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
