Career

  • Pontifex? 130 to after 100 (Rüpke 2005)
  • Praetor? 111 Hispania Ulterior?, Hispania Ulterior (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Successor of Piso (App. Ib. 99; see 112, Praetors and note 4). (Broughton MRR I)
    • Cos. 108. Sumner dates his praetorship and command in Hisp. Ult. from 111 into 109 (Orators 72), when he was succeeded by Q. Servilius Caepio. Cf. MRR 1.540, 544. Cos. 108. His name is used without that of his colleague in an inscription of the Campanian magistri (A. de Franciscis, Epigraphica 12, 1950, 126-130) to mark the date, which may therefore fall within the period between the condemnation of Hortensius and the election of M. Aurelius Scaurus (215) as Cos. suff. in 108. See MRR 1.548. (Broughton MRR III)
    • p. 745, footnote 227 (Brennan 2000)

  • Consul 108 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • See 111, Praetors, and note 3, on Hortensius. On the filiation of Sulpicius, see RE nos. 57 and 58, and note SIG(3) 705, I, line 5, for a possible restoration. (Broughton MRR I)
    • CIL 1 .2.675, 676, cf. 694, 695; Fast. Ant., Degrassi 162f. ([S])er. Sulpici. Galba); Cic. Rab. Perd. 21; Obseq. 40 (Servio Galba); Chr. 354 (Calva); Fast. Hyd. (Sulpicio), so also Chr. Pasc.; Cassiod. See Degrassi 54f., 127, 476f. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Cos. 108. Sumner dates his praetorship and command in Hisp. Ult. from 111 into 109 (Orators 72), when he was succeeded by Q. Servilius Caepio. Cf. MRR 1.540, 544. Cos. 108.

Aurelius Scaurus (215) as Cos. suff. in 108. See MRR 1.548. (Broughton MRR III)
    • Additions and Corrections. The name of Ser. Sulpicius Galba appears alone in the date on a recently published inscription of the Campanian magistri (De Franciscis, Epigraphica 12 [1950] 126-130, pub. Dec. 1951), and probably gives an indication of the period after the condemnation of Hortensius and before the election of Aurelius Scaurus as Consul Suffectus. (Broughton MRR II)
