Aelius Gallus
Gaius Aelius Gallus was the 2nd praefect of Roman Egypt (Aegyptus) in the reign of Augustus, and some time after Cornelius Gallus—with whom he has often been confounded—had been invested with the same office. He is also known to be an intimate friend of the geographer Strabo and has been identified with the Aelius Gallus frequently quoted by Galen, whose remedies are stated to have been used with success in an Arabian expedition.
