Aurelius Victor. Eutropius, x. 14 [7]. I shall copy the
words of Eutropius, who wrote his abridgment about fifteen
years after the death of Gallus, when there was no longer
any motive either to flatter or to depreciate his character.
"Multis incivilibus gestis Gallus Caesar . . . vir natura
ferus et ad tyrannidem pronior, si suo jure imperare
licuisset."
