Re: Question on Latin galbinus

I've got a vague memory of a thread on "galbinus", the Emperor
Galba, etc. on Cybalist a couple of years ago. I could be wrong --
maybe it was only that something on Cybalist lead to further googling
on these.
Someone with an effective search method for Cybalist might be kind
enough to check.
