Quintus Fabius Vibulanus (Consul 467 BC)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quintus Fabius Vibulanus († after 449 BC ) was a politician of the early Roman Republic and belonged to the patrician family of the Fabians .

Vibulanus was the son of Marcus Fabius Vibulanus ( consul 483 and 481). He is the only one of the family to have survived the battle of the Cremera in 477 and thus to have become the progenitor of all later Fabians.

Vibulanus was consul in 467, 465 and 459. In 450 he was one of the Decemviri who, at the instigation of Appius Claudius Crassus, illegally extended their time in office and prevented their successors from taking up office. After an uprising against the Decemvirate 449, which led to its dissolution, he voluntarily went into exile .

His son was Quintus Fabius Vibulanus Ambustus (consul 423 and 412).

As with all people of early Roman times, most of the recorded details of Fabius' life are viewed as later construction.
