PubliusSulpiciusGalbaMaximus was a consul of Rome in 211 BC, when he defended the city against the surprise attack by Hannibal.
Galba was notable for leading the first Roman fleet into the Aegean Sea and capturing Aegina (210), but otherwised achieved little, and most of the fighting was done by the Greek allies of Rome.
In 197 and 196, Galba was one of ten senatorial commissioners helping Titus Flamininus settle political issues in Greece, and ambassador to Antiochus III the Great in 193.
Servius SulpiciusGalba Roman Emperor from June AD 68 to January 15 69), was born near Terracona, on December 24, 3 BC.
In the spring of 68, Galba was informed of Nero's intention to put him to death, and of the insurrection of Julius Vindex in Gaul.
Galba, who at once set out to meet the rebels - he was so feeble that he had to be carried in a litter - was met by a troop of cavalry and butchered near the Lacus Curtius.
The dictator was the highest magistrate in degree of precedence (Praetor Maximus) and was attended by 24 lictors.
On the establishment of the Roman republic the government of the state was entrusted to two consuls, that the citizens might be the better protected against the tyrannical exercise of the supreme power.
It was replaced by the Senatus consultum ultimum, an emergency act of the Senate that authorized the two consuls to take whatever actions were needed to defend the Republic.
Knowledge King - Roman dictator(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
A legal innovation of the Roman Republic, the dictator (Latin for "one who dictates (orders)") -- also known as the magister populi ("master of the peoples") -- was an extraordinary magistrate (magistratus extraordinarius) whose function was to perform extraordinary tasks exceeding the authority of any of the ordinary magistrates.
After Caesar's murder on the Ides of March, his consular colleague Marcus Antonius passed a lex Antonia which abolished the dictatorate and expunged it from the constitutions of the Republic.
The office was later offered to Caesar Augustus, who prudently declined it, and opted instead for tribunician power and consular imperium without holding any office other than pontifex maximus and princeps senatus -- a politic arrangement which left him as functional dictator without having to hold the controversial title or office itself.

Cato the Elder(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
He was employed in several important cases; in the prosecution of M. Marienus and Publius Furius Philus for maladadministration in Spain (171) BC in the defence of the Rhodians from the charge of treachery toward Rome; and in other of equal moment.
The patricians continued to manifest their hatred of him as late as 153 BC when he was 81 yrs old Caius Cassius brought against him a serious accusation, the nature of which is not recorded, which compelled him to defend himself with ultimate success.
A part of the last year of his life was spent in aiding the prosecution of S SulpiciusGalba for treachery; but this though undoubtly just; was unsuccessful.

Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus (236-184) : Princeps(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Despite the strong support of Scipio and the Cornelian gens, the Scipiones suffered defeat at the polls; neither of Scipio's two candidates was chosen.
Whether or not these additional consuls were within Scipio's sphere of influence (and it seems likely that at least some of them were), there can be no doubt that Africanus was a dominant and dominating personality in Roman political life of this decade.
Roman operations were delayed for a while, however, as Publius Cornelius - for religious reasons - was forbidden from changing his domicile shortly after the army had crossed the Hellespont.

A legal innovation of the Roman Republic, the dictator (Latin for "one who dictates (orders)") — also known as the Praetor maximus ("The supreme Praetor") magister populi ("master of the peoples") — was an extraordinary magistrate (magistratus extraordinarius) whose function was to perform extraordinary tasks exceeding the authority of any of the ordinary magistrates.
After the end of the war, the Dictatoship was outlawed, replaced with the senatus consultam ultimum, an emergency act of the Senate that authorized the two consuls to take whatever actions were needed to defend the Republic.
The office was later offered to Caesar Augustus, who prudently declined it, and opted instead for tribunician power and consular imperium without holding any office other than pontifex maximus and princeps senatus — a politic arrangement which left him as functional dictator without having to hold the controversial title or office itself.

8.]--As much said the Greeks of that which Flaminius brought into their country; and Philip, beholding from an eminence the order and distribution of the Roman camp formed in his kingdom by PubliusSulpiciusGalba, spake to the same effect.
By which it appears how cautious men ought to be of taking things upon trust from vulgar opinion, and that we are to judge by the eye of reason, and not from common report.
