The Fabier family was then one of the leading families in Rome and reached a height of power under the three brothers. In his first consulate in 483 BC BC Marcus Fabius fought together with his fellow consul Lucius Valerius Potitus supposedly against Veienter and Volsker . 480 BC Re-elected as consul, Marcus Fabius and his colleague Gnaeus Manlius Cincinnatus again took to the field against the Veienti, but is said to have feared that his troops, as in previous years, would not follow the consuls due to domestic political tensions. But this time the army did not cause any problems and won after a hard fight. But since Quintus Fabius had also fallen, his brother Marcus had given up a triumph out of grief . 477 BC Like most of the other members of the Fabians, he is said to have died in the battle of the Cremera against the Veienter, and the family was almost exterminated.
