Galba
Galba (; born Servius Sulpicius Galba; 24 December 3 BC – 15 January AD 69) was the sixth Roman emperor, ruling from AD 68 to 69. After his adoption by his stepmother, and before becoming emperor, he was known as Livius Ocella Sulpicius Galba. He was the first emperor in the Year of the Four Emperors and assumed the throne following Emperor Nero's suicide. Born into a wealthy family, Galba held at various times the positions of praetor, consul, and governor to the provinces of Aquitania, Upper Germany, and Africa during the first half of the first century AD.

Gaius Sulpicius Galba (consul AD 22)
Gaius Sulpicius Galba (died 36) was a Roman senator who was active during the reign of Tiberius. He was consul in AD 22 as the colleague of Decimus Haterius Agrippa. Sulpicius Galba was the son of Gaius Sulpicius Galba and Mummia Achaica, granddaughter of Quintus Lutatius Catulus; the future emperor Galba was his brother. Over his lifetime Gaius squandered the larger portion of his estate, and was forced to retire from Rome. He hoped to recover his wealth through the sortition of 36, which had given him either Africa or Asia to govern as proconsul, but the emperor Tiberius forbade him from taking up the province awarded him. This forced Gaius to end his life.Tacitus, ''Annales'' VI.40; Suetonius Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus (), commonly referred to as Suetonius ( ; c.
