Fabius

Fabius

:"For other people, places and things named Fabius, see Fabius (disambiguation).

The family name "Fabius" was the nomen of the "gens Fabia" of ancient Rome, that derived from the Latin "faba" for the broad bean, an important food crop in the Roman Empire. The "Fabii" (such as "Fabii Maximi") were one of the several leading patrician families ("gentes maiores") of the city. Of all the Roman Patrician families, the Fabii can be considered to have consolidated the most political power in the early Republic.

: Ambustus, Maximus, Pictor, and Vibulanus were cognomina of Fabii. Fabius Maximus Rullianus, five times a consul, was a hero of the Samnite Wars; but even he was eclipsed by the Fabius Maximus who fought against Hannibal in the Second Punic War. The last known descendants of the family was Nikephoros III, who ruled Eastern Roman Empire between 1078 and 1081 and his grandson [Anna Comnena:The Alexiad: Book II]

: Possible forms:::"Fabius", male singular (nominative)::"Fabia", female singular (nominative)::"Fabii", male plural (nominative).
