Gallus, TREBONIANUS

Chambers's Encyclopaedia, Volume 5: Friday to Humanitarians, p. 68

Gallus, TREBONIANUS, Roman emperor (251-253 A.D.), was the successor of the ill-fated Decius, and is memorable only from the dishonourable peace which he purchased from the Goths, followed by a dreadful pestilence in Italy. His end was to be murdered by his own soldiers.
