christindestani, Welcome to the forum it's good to have you here with us. This sounds like a homework question. One of the great things about this site is that it's a place where we can come together and encourage one another and gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of God and His Word. One of the greatest blessings is doing the leg work and the personal digging,it's part of what helps us to grow in God. If I' wrong tell us and I and the others will be here to help you answer these two questions. In Him, lionheart |

Hello byost01, Welcome to the Forum. I'm not completely certain from the wording of your questions? Nero is not mentioned in the Bible- except as noted by Eastons "...occurs only in the superscription (which is probably spurious, and is altogether omitted in the R.V.) to the Second Epistle to Timothy." Gallio is the elder brother of Seneca, the philosopher. As noted in Easton's Bible Dictionary, "who was tutor and for some time minister of the emperor Nero. He was “deputy”, i.e., proconsul, as in Revised Version, of Achaia, under the emperor Claudius, when Paul visited Corinth (Acts 18:12). The word used here by Luke in describing the rank of Gallio shows his accuracy. Achaia was a senatorial province under Claudius, and the governor of such a province was called a “proconsul.” He is spoken of by his contemporaries as “sweet Gallio,” and is described as a most popular and affectionate man. When the Jews brought Paul before his tribunal on the charge of persuading “men to worship God contrary to the law” (18:13), he refused to listen to them, and “drave them from the judgment seat” (18:16)." I hope this helps, BradK |
