Biography

A member of the Plebeian gens Caninia, Gallus was the son of Lucius Caninius Gallus, and a grandson of Gaius Antonius Hybrida.[1] Related to the triumvir Marc Antony, Gallus was probably elected to the office of Praetor by 40 BC at the latest.[2] He was then elected consul alongside Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa in 37 BC.[3]

Gallus may have been a patron of the Latin poet Sextus Propertius.[4]
