Servius Galba, a legate from the Gallic wars who had a dispute with Caesar over a debt, also felt his friendship with Caesar cost him the consular election in 49 B.C.[3] In 45 B.C. Galba complained that the Senators were not given their proper respect.[4] According to Suetonius, Caesar had an affair with Galba’s wife, which caused more anger.[5]
