GALLUS, GAIUS AELIUS

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 426 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GAG-GEO
GALLUS, GAIUS AELIUS , praefect of
Egypt
  26-24 B.C. By order of
Augustus
  he undertook an expedition to Arabia
Felix
 , with disastrous results. The troops suffered greatly from disease, heat, want of water and the obstinate resistance of the in-habitants. The treachery of a foreign guide also added to his difficulties. After six months Gallus was obliged to return to
Alexandria
 , having lost the greater
part
  of his force. He was a friend of the geographer
Strabo
 , who gives an
account
  of the expedition (xvi. pp. 780-782; see also Dio
Cassius
  liii. 29; Pliny, Nat. Hist. vi. 32; C. Merivale, Hist. of the Romans under the
Empire
 , ch. 34; H. Kruger, Der Feldzug des A. G. nach dem glucklichen Arabien, 1862). He has been identified with the Aelius Gallus frequently quoted by Galen, whose remedies are stated to have been used with success in an Arabian expedition.
