Gallus also claimed true paternity of Drusus Julius Caesar, earning him Tiberius' animosity.
At Tiberius' instigation, the Senate declared Gallus a public enemy, and he was held in conditions of solitary confinement:[8] "He had no companion or servant with him, spoke to no one, and saw no one, except when he was compelled to take food.
[9] When Agrippina died in October of that same year, Tiberius accused her of "having had Asinius Gallus as a paramour and being driven by his death to loathe existence".
[10] His name was erased from public monuments (a practice known as damnatio memoriae), although this was reversed after Tiberius' death.
In Lloyd C Douglas's novel The Robe, Gallus is furnished with a fictional daughter, Diana, the love interest of the story.
