Comments

The gens Fabia was one of the most ancient patrician families at Rome, playing a prominent part in history soon after the establishment of the Republic. Three brothers are said to have been invested with seven successive consulships, from 485 to 479 BC. The house derived its greatest lustre from the patriotic courage and tragic fate of the 306 Fabii in the Battle of the Cremera in 477 BC. The Fabii were not distinguished as warriors only; several members of the gens were also important in the history of Roman literature and the arts.
