Gaius Fabius Agrippinus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gaius Fabius Agrippinus was a Roman senator of the high imperial era.

Gaius Fabius Agrippinus may have come from the port city of Ostia . Little is known about the beginning of his career. He was governor ( Legatus Augusti pro praetore ) in the province of Thrace before 148 AD. After that he became a suffect consul with Marcus Antonius Zeno for the last quarter of the year 148 . This is through military diplomas , e.g. Some of them are dated October 9, 148 and the Fasti Ostienses , on which his name is partially preserved, attests.

He had at least one daughter and probably also a son, because the suffect consul of the same name (consulate before 218/19) was probably his grandson and was killed as praeses of Syria coele by Elagabal in 218 or 219. Little is known about the later life of the elder Fabius Agrippinus or about the date of his death.
