politician Ancient Roman senator
Originally from Tusculum, he was either the son or grandson of Lucius Caninius Gallus, the consul of 37 British Columbia.
Beginning his career in the cursus honorum in around 18 British Columbia as a triumvir monetalis, his praetorian career is unknown, although it is speculated that he was an aedile at Tusculum at some point. This would indicate that Caninius Gallus was held in some esteem by the ruling regime. Possibly around AD 8, Caninius Gallus was appointed the proconsular governor of Africa.
Under the following emperor Tiberius, he was the president of the curatores alvei Tiberis et riparum et cloacarum urbis (or officials responsible for maintaining the banks of the Tiber River and the sewers of the city of Rome).
In 32 AD asked the senate to vote on a resolution about including a new collection of Sibylline oracles in the state’s official collection of Sibylline Books. Although the senate agreed, the emperor Tiberius rebuked Caninius Gallus for being rash and not following correct religious procedures, and the matter was referred to the full college of the Quindecimviri Sacris Faciundis.
Caninius Gallus was a member of the Plebeian gens Caninia. Caninius Gallus was a member of the College of Quindecimviri sacris faciundis.
