Galla was the sister of the consul Neratius Cerealis and of the praetorian prefect Vulcacius Rufinus.[2]
She married Julius Constantius, son of Constantius Chlorus and half-brother of Emperor Constantine I. They had three children: a son, who died with his father in the purges of 337,[3] a daughter, who married her cousin Constantius II,[lower-alpha 1] and finally Constantius Gallus, later Caesar of the East, born around 325.[5] It has been proposed that Galla and Julius had another daughter, who may have been the mother of the empress Justina.[6]
Galla died before her husband, as Gallus was then entrusted to the care of Eusebius, bishop of Nicomedia.[7]
