[1][2] Gwyn Morgan assumes she was related to Publius Galerius Trachalus, "Otho's alleged speechwriter".

"[4] Tacitus specifically notes she protected Galerius Trachalus from her husband when he purged the supporters of his defeated rival Otho.

Galeria's life was spared and she was allowed to bury her husband.

Her daughter Vitellia married twice: Decimus Valerius Asiaticus was her first husband, and after his death in 69 AD she was helped by Vespasian to make a good marriage to an unnamed man.

[6] Historian Settipani has proposed that her second son-in-law was Libo Rupilius Frugi and that his daughter Rupilia Faustina was also Vitellia's daughter, thus explaining the use of the nomen Galeria among female members of the Nerva–Antonine dynasty.
