Marcus Fabius Vibulanus (consul 483 and 480 BC)
Marcus Fabius Vibulanus was consul of the Roman republic in 483 and 480 BC.[1]
According to the recorded filiation of his son, Marcus' father's praenomen was Caeso Fabius. His brothers were Quintus (consul in 485 and 482 BC) and Kaeso (consul in 484, 481, and 479 BC).
According to Livy, during Marcus Fabius' first consulship in 483 BC there was a continuation of attempts by the tribunes to increase their powers, which were successfully resisted by the Roman senate.[2]
According to Roman historical tradition, all of the male members of the gens Fabia except one perished in the Battle of the Cremera in 477 BC. If this tradition is correct, then Marcus died that year in the disaster. Tradition identifies the sole survivor as his son Quintus Fabius Vibulanus, who was too young to participate to go to war.[3]
