Marcus Vipstanus Gallus

Marcus Vipstanus Gallus (dates of birth and death unknown) was a Roman senator at the beginning of the first century. Marcus was made suffect consul in 18 with Gaius Rubellius Blandus as his colleague.[1]

His relative, Lucius Vipstanus Gallus, was a praetor who died in 17. It is unknown whether Marcus was a brother or a cousin of Lucius.[2]

His son, Lucius Vipstanus Publicola, became an ordinary consul in 48, and another son, Messalla Vipstanus Gallus, was made suffect consul in the same year.[3]
