Career

  • Legatus (Lieutenant)? 132 Sicilia (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Klein (132, no. 4) identifies this Fabius with Allobrogicus and calls him a Legate. This is possible, if he returned from Spain in time, but improbable, since he was likely to remain with his commander until the end of the campaign. Moreover, an issue of coins at Panormus supports the view that Fabius was a Quaestor, and was not Allobrogicus, who had already held that office, but Eburnus, the future Consul of 116. See Cichorius, Untersuch. Lucil. 317ff. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Quaestor before 131 Sicilia (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • Klein (132, no. 4) identifies this Fabius with Allobrogicus and calls him a Legate. This is possible, if he returned from Spain in time, but improbable, since he was likely to remain with his commander until the end of the campaign. Moreover, an issue of coins at Panormus supports the view that Fabius was a Quaestor, and was not Allobrogicus, who had already held that office, but Eburnus, the future Consul of 116. See Cichorius, Untersuch. Lucil. 317ff. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Served under his father-in-law Rupilius in Sicily, but was sent home in disgrace for losing Tauromenium (Val. Max. 2.7.3; cf. coins of Panormus, CIL 1 .2, p. 764, no. 383d; Nepotian. 16.2). (Broughton MRR I)

  • Praetor 119 repetundae?, Rome (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • I have listed this praetorship under the latest possible date. Of the known Fabii Maximi, Eburnus is the most probable since Crassus was only 19 years of age at the time of the trial (Tac. Dial. 34; cf. RE s. v. "Licinius" no. 55). (Broughton MRR I)
    • Presided over the court in which Crassus laid an accusation, probably of laesa maiestas, against Carbo (Cic. De Or. 1.40, and 121; 2.170; 3.74; Off. 2.47; Brut. 159; Lael. 96; Fam. 9.21.3; QF 2.3.3; Verr. 2.3.3; Tac. Dial. 34). (Broughton MRR I)
    • p. 745, footnote 211 (Brennan 2000)
  • Consul 116 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • This filiation is a conjecture of Münzer (RE) based on the form used in Fast. Cap. for 147. As for Licinius, the praenomen C. in Fast. Ant. is supported by the reading of OGIS 436, where P. f. appears to be the more probable filiation. On [- - - -] {Gr} of SIG(3) 826 K, see RE no. 1; and Holleaux, REA 19 (1917) 77-80. In Frontinus (Aq. 2.96) the reading of C is clycynio consule Fabio censoribus. The reference may be to the consulship of these men but more probably is to their censorship in 108. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Fast. Ant., Degrassi 162f. (C. Licini. [Ge]tha, Q. Fa[bius- - - -]); Frontin. Aq. 2.96; Chr. 354 (Geta et Eburno); Fast. Hyd. (Geta et Maximo Seculiano); Chr. Pasc.; Cassiod.; and on Fabius, Cic. Mur. 36; on Licinius, OGIS 436 ({Gr}). See Degrassi 127, 472f. (Broughton MRR I)
  • Proconsul 115 Macedonia? (Broughton MRR III) Expand
    • Cos. 116. Proconsul in Macedonia 115-114. He was probably the proconsul of Macedonia who addressed a letter to the Dymaeans after the occurrence of disorders there (SIG(3) 684; Sherk, RDGE 246-248, no. 43; see Accame, Dominio romano in Grecia 9, 33f., 149- 152). Since the other Fabii Maximi known in this generation held commands after their consulates, in Spain and Gaul, it is preferable to return to the attribution of Zumpt and Geyer (RE s.v. Macedonia 774) of-Macedonia to Eburnus (above) in 115-114. See Munzer, RE, Supb. 3.640; F. Papazoglou, ANRW 2.7.1, 1979, 310. It was perhaps at the end of this command that he was sent in 113 to head a commission to Crete (MRR 1.536, 537, note 5).[87x] (Broughton MRR III)
  • Proconsul 114 Macedonia? (Broughton MRR III) Expand
    • Cos. 116. Proconsul in Macedonia 115-114. He was probably the proconsul of Macedonia who addressed a letter to the Dymaeans after the occurrence of disorders there (SIG(3) 684; Sherk, RDGE 246-248, no. 43; see Accame, Dominio romano in Grecia 9, 33f., 149- 152).

  • Legatus (Ambassador)? 113 Crete (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • The date of this embassy is set approximately by the course of the disputes in eastern Crete as revealed by the inscriptions cited above and by other inscriptions connected with these disputes (I. Cret. 1.16, nos 3, 4A, 4B, 5, and 18). Mention of the Athenian archon Sarapio provides a terminus post quem in 116 (I. Cret. 1.16.4B, partly repeated in REA 44.35, no. c), and the embassy had reported to the Senate in Rome before June, 112 (I. Cret. 3.4.9, and 10). After 116 there was time for Olus and Lato to come to hostilities, receive an arbitral judgment from Cnossos, and then after further difficulties have that judgment confirmed by the Roman embassy (documents in I. Cret. 1,{538} and REA, above). On the other hand, the hostilities between Itanos and Hierapytna were discussed in the Roman Senate under the Consuls of 115 and 114 (I. Cret. 3.4.10). The embassy under Fabius was sent to Crete, and its report guided the Senate in its deliberations under the Consul of 112. The most probable date for the sending of the embassy is 113. See, most recently, M. Guarducci, Epigraphica 9 (1947) 32-35 (published March, 1949). (Broughton MRR I)
    • This embassy was sent to Crete to intervene in the disputes between a number of cities of eastern Crete, Hierapytna and Itanos, and{537} Olus and Lato, with their respective allies Gortyn and Cnossos, which had led to local wars (H. van Effenterre, REA 44 [1942] 31-51, esp. 36, with all five names; and M. Guarducci, I. Cret. 3.4.9, lines 74ff., and 10, lines 68ff., with mention of Q. Fabius as head of an embassy). (Broughton MRR I)
    • Cos. 116. Proconsul in Macedonia 115-114. He was probably the proconsul of Macedonia who addressed a letter to the Dymaeans after the occurrence of disorders there (SIG(3) 684; Sherk, RDGE 246-248, no. 43; see Accame, Dominio romano in Grecia 9, 33f., 149- 152). Since the other Fabii Maximi known in this generation held commands after their consulates, in Spain and Gaul, it is preferable to return to the attribution of Zumpt and Geyer (RE s.v. Macedonia 774) of-Macedonia to Eburnus (above) in 115-114. See Munzer, RE, Supb. 3.640; F. Papazoglou, ANRW 2.7.1, 1979, 310. It was perhaps at the end of this command that he was sent in 113 to head a commission to Crete (MRR 1.536, 537, note 5).[87x] (Broughton MRR III)
  • Censor 108 (Broughton MRR I) Expand
    • There are two Fabii who may be considered for this censorship: Allobrogicus, Cos. 121, and Eburnus, Cos. 116. The former is favored in the commentary to Fast. Cap. in CIL (1 2 .1, p. 36) because he is termed Censor in Ps.-Ascon. 211 Stangl, on Cic. Verr. 1.19, and was the senior of the two. But Eburnus is indicated by the mistaken reference in Val. Max. 6.1.5-6 to Servilianus, since he was a son of Servilianus, who did not attain the office, and is definitely named in Ps.-Quintil. in connection with the same incident. See Münzer, RE, and most recently, Degrassi 127f. (Broughton MRR I)
    • Fast. Ant., Degrassi 162f. (C. Licini. Ge[t]ha, Q. Fabi. Max.), cf. Fast. Cap., Degrassi 54f., 127, 476f., names not preserved. Licinius had been expelled from the Senate by the Censors of 115 (Cic. Cluent. 119; Val.{549} Max. 2.9.9). Fabius put his son to death as a punishment for unchastity (Val. Max. 6.1.5-6; Ps.-Quintil. Decl. 3.17; Oros. 5.16.8). They reappointed M. Aemilius Scaurus Princeps Senatus (see 115, Censors). (Broughton MRR I)
