Gallus, Asi'nius

3. Asinius Gallus, a son of No. 2, was a man proud of his family connection, being a stepbrother of Drusus, the son of Tiberius. In the reign of Claudius, he and Statilius, and a number of freedmen and slaves, formed a conspiracy against Claudius. The object of Asinius Gallus was merely to satisfy his foolish vanity; but the plot was discovered, and Claudius was generous enough not to inflict any severer punishment on the offender than exile. (Suet. Cl. 13.; D. C. 9.27.)

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
