Lucius Calpurnius Fabatus (full name form Lucius Calpurnius Luci filius Oufentina Fabatus ) was a member of the Roman knighthood ( Eques ) living in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD . Individual stations in his career are known through an inscription that is dated to 112 AD. His career is shown in the inscription in ascending order.
Life
Fabatus was initially VIvir and IIIIvir before he took over the post of Praefectus fabrum . This was followed by his military career. He was first a tribune in the Legio XXI Rapax , which was stationed in Germania . He then took over as prefect of the Cohors VII Lusitanorum , which was stationed in Numidia . Together with the command of the cohort, he was also given the management of six Gaetulian tribes ( nationum Gaetulicarum sex quae sunt in Numidia ).
After finishing his military career, he returned to his hometown and took on the role of priest ( Flemish ) for the deified Augustus . He also became the patron of his hometown ( patronus municipii ). He died around 112.
Fabatus belonged to the knighthood as early as 65 AD, as Tacitus mentions him in his Annales (16, 8, 3: Calpurnius Fabatus, eques Romanus ) in connection with an indictment against Iunia Lepida , the wife of Gaius Cassius Longinus . His career began either towards the end of the reign of Nero (54–68) or in the first years of the reign of Vespasian (69–79).

Fabatus was enrolled in the Oufentina tribe . He came from Comum , today's Como , where the inscription was found. His granddaughter Calpurnia was the third wife of Pliny the Younger . Fabatus is mentioned several times in the Epistulae of Pliny.
