  Gaius Asinius Gallus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gaius Asinius Gallus was an ambitious Roman senator with family connections to the Julio-Claudian house.
Asinius Gallus never denied his paternity of the son of Tiberius and Vipsania, Drusus minor, heir from 19 AD to 23 AD; and he courted the widow of Germanicus, Agrippina Senior.
When Agrippina died in October of that same year, Tiberius accused her of "having had Asinius Gallus as a paramour and being driven by his death to loathe existence" (Annals 6.25).
