Biography
Sulpicius Galba, a member of the
gens Sulpicia, was the eldest son of Servius Sulpicius Galba
who was consul in 144 BC.
It has been speculated that his name was the second one recorded on a Senatus consultum that was passed in 112 BC; however, the name has been preserved only in fragments. After his election as Praetor in around 112 or 111 BC, Sulpicius Galba was appointed the governor of Hispania Ulterior, just as his father had been in 151 BC. He replaced Lucius Calpurnius Piso Frugi, who had died while serving in Spain.[1] By 109 BC he had finished his term in office.
In 109 BC, Sulpicius Galba was elected
Plebeian Tribune Lucius Appuleius Saturninus
.
Sulpicius Galba probably owned large gardens south of the
Tarracina, which was the birthplace of the future Roman emperor Galba
.
