Gaius Galerius was a Roman eques who was active during the reign of Tiberius.
[2] During his tenure, in the year 19 Germanicus visited the province in violation of the laws that no senator or eques could enter Egypt without explicit permission of the Emperor.
[3] Another event Galerius presided over was the periodic census for the province in 21/22; a surviving papyrus document attests that it was carried out.
[6] This would mean Galerius was also related somehow to Galeria Fundana, although Suetonius reports she was the daughter of an unnamed senator who had achieved the traditional Republican magistracy of praetor.
[7] However, that Seneca fails to mention any descendants of Galerius in his surviving writings weakens that possibility; another possibility would be that Trachalus and Fundana are related to Galerius through an unrecorded brother or uncle.
