Caesar therefore would not wait while they came up to him, but crossed the Rhine; preferring that their country should be the seat of war, and not that of the Romans: as by that means the cities would escape being again pillaged by the Barbarians.
Caesar by this time perceiving that the Barbarians dared not again engage him, but were intent on secret excursions, and rapine, by which they did great damage to the country, scarcely knew how to act, until at length he invented a stratagem to confound the Barbarians.
Caesar, was at this time unable to restrain their nocturnal and clandestine incursions of the Barbarians, as they robbed in small parties, straggling from each other, and when day appeared, not one of them was visible, all hiding themselves in the woods, and subsisting on what they gained by robbery.

 Eutropius: Abridgement of Roman History, Book 10
Severus Caesar, being despatched to Rome by Galerius to suppress the rising of the guards and Maxentius, arrived there with his army, but, as he was laying siege to the city, was deserted through the treachery of his soldiers.
Gallus was a man naturally cruel, and too much inclined to tyranny, if he could but have reigned in his own right Silvanus also, who attempted an insurrection in Gaul, was cut off before the end of thirty days; and Constantius then remained sole ruler and emperor over the Roman dominions.
He then sent into Gaul, with the authority of Caesar, his cousin Julian, the brother of Gallus, giving him his sister in marriage, at a time when the barbarians had stormed many towns and were besieging others, when there was every where direful devastation, and when the Roman empire was tottering in evident distress.

Gallus, having accomplished these things, was unable to bear his success with moderation; but forthwith attempted innovations against the authority of him who had constituted him Cæsar, himself aspiring to the sovereign power.
His purpose was, however, soon detected by Constantius: for he had dared to put to death, on his own responsibility, Domitian, at that time Prætorian prefect of the East, and Magnus the quæstor, not having disclosed his designs to the emperor.
Constantius, extremely incensed at this conduct, summoned Gallus to his presence, who being in great terror went very reluctantly; and when he arrived in the western parts, and had reached the island of Flanona, Constantius ordered him to be slain.

 The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire XIX
The cruelty of Gallus was sometimes displayed in the undissembled violence of popular or military executions: and was sometimes disguised by the abuse of law and the forms of judicial proceedings.
The quaestor reproached Gallus, in haughty language, that a prince who was scarcely authorised to remove a municipal magistrate should presume to imprison a Praetorian praefect; convoked a meeting of the civil and military officers, and required them, in the name of their sovereign, to defend the person and dignity of his representatives.
The Caesar sunk under the weight of shame and guilt, confessed all the criminal actions and all the treasonable designs with which he was charged; and, by imputing them to the advice of his wife, exasperated the indignation of Constantius, who reviewed with partial prejudice the minutes of the examination.

 Res Gestae: Ammianus Marcellinus (Book 14)
Through this conduct the Caesar was still more violently enraged, and as if raising higher, as if it were, the standard of his obstinacy, with no regard to his own life or that of others, he rushed on with uncontrollable impetuosity, like a swift torrent, to overthrow whatever opposed him.
When the news of this situation spread abroad, and repeated messages dispatched to Gallus Caesar had roused him to action, since the Master of the Horse [1] was at the time too far removed from the spot, orders were given to Nebridius, Count of the East.
Caesar, angered at this and feeling that such treatment was unjust and undeserved, ordered his faithful guards [2] to arrest the prefect.

 Antony by Plutarch
Having taken particular notice of the place, he returned to Caesar, and Gallus was sent to parley with her the second time; who, being come to the door, on purpose prolonged the conference, while Proculeius fixed his scaling-ladders in the window through which the women had pulled up Antony.
In the meanwhile, Caesar made his entry into Alexandria, with Areius the philosopher at his side, holding him by the hand and talking with him; desiring that all his fellow-citizens should see what honour was paid to him, and should look up to him accordingly from the very first moment.
Many kings and great commanders made petition to Caesar for the body of Antony, to give him his funeral rites; but he would not take away his corpse from Cleopatra by whose hands he was buried with royal splendour and magnificence, it being granted to her to employ what she pleased on his funeral.

He and Gallus were the sons of Constantius, the brother by the same father of Constantine the emperor, and of Dalmatius.
When Gallus, his brother, who had been established as Cæsar, was put to death on being accused of revolution, Constantius also suspected Julian of cherishing the love of empire, and therefore put him under the custody of guards.
When Gallus, the brother of Julian, had been declared Cæsar by Constantius, and had fixed his residence at Antioch, his zeal for the Christian religion and his veneration for the memory of the martyrs determined him to purge the place of the pagan superstition and the outrages of profligates.

 Electronic Antiquity v6n1 - Ronald Newbold
Gallus Caesar worries over whether he will be pardoned by Constantius (14.11.7).
Gallus was reportedly anxious about his fate because he believed Constantius did not accept excuses or forgive mistakes but was more likely to punish with death, just as he himself had done as ruler in the East (14.11.7).
It is the unsleeping curses of victims and the shades of the unavenged (inulti) that sustains the vigilance and long memory of Vengeful Justice, aliquotiens serus sed scrupulosus, that eventually distributed deserts of some kind to all those "trapped in a cycle of violence and retribution beyond any of their powers to control" [38].

Nevertheless, in LXXIX he disclosed to his contemporaries that Lesbia was a pseudonym for one of the three Clodia sisters; which one, they can hardly have failed to guess.
The former he handed over to the senate that it might condemn him to death, because he was plotting revolution; the latter he forbade his house and the privilege of residence in the imperial provinces, because of his ungrateful and envious spirit.
His mother intended him for a legal career, but his moving to Rome (like Ovid's) served rather to bring him into contact with a coterie of poets, and it was to the Muses that he devoted his life.

Gallus was commonly criticised for wasting his time at the amphitheatre.
He would hardly dare to lampoon the Emperor while he was in power so we must assume that the mosaic was laid shortly after his death; at a time when the politics of the situation were still topical.
