Appius Annius Trebonius Gallus (consul 108)

Appius Annius Trebonius Gallus was a distinguished Roman senator who was active during the first half of the 2nd century in the Roman Empire. Trebonius Gallus served as an ordinary consul in the year 108.[1] On a stone at Olympia, Greece, there is an honorific inscription dedicated to Trebonius Gallus, who was a consular colleague to Marcus Appius Bradua in 108.[1]

Trebonius Gallus was born into the gens Annia and was a member of the venerable family of the Annii Regilli.[2] Regilli means 'Little Queen'.[2] His father may have been Appius Annius Gallus, one of the suffect consuls of the year 67; according to Olli Salomies, there is a consensus that his mother is likely a Trebonia, the daughter of Publius Trebonius, suffect consul in the year 53.[3] Gallus was related to the Senator Marcus Annius Verus, who was a brother-in-law of Emperor Hadrian and father of Faustina the Elder, wife of Emperor Antoninus Pius and aunt of Marcus Aurelius.[2]

He married an unnamed noblewoman, by whom he had a son called Appius Annius Trebonius Gallus, consul in 139.
