Gaius Asinius Gallus, Roman Proconsul of Asia, 6 - 5 B.C., Temnos, Aeolis
|Roman| |Asia|, |Gaius| |Asinius| |Gallus,| |Roman| |Proconsul| |of| |Asia,| |6| |-| |5| |B.C.,| |Temnos,| |Aeolis|, The larger denomination of the same series honored Augustus. On this coin Gallus gives himself the epithet AΓNOΣ, meaning pure or holy! Later he was an ambitious and powerful senator. A foe of Tiberius, in 11 B.C. he married Tiberius' ex-wife, Vipsania. He was suspected of and never denied fathering Tiberius' son, Drusus the Younger. After Vipsania died, he courted the widow of Germanicus, Agrippina. In 30 A.D., Tiberius had him imprisoned and for three years kept him in solitary confinement and on the very edge of starvation until he died. To add further insult he was discredited by damnatio memoriae.
