Fabius

Allobrogĭcus, son of Quintus Fabius Maximus Aemilianus, who subdued not only the Allobroges, but also the people of southern Gaul, which he reduced to a Roman province, called from that time Provincia. Quintus Fabius Maxĭmus, a grandson of Fabius Maximus Servilianus, served in Spain under Iulius Caesar, and was made consul B.C. 44. Two of his sons or nephews were consuls in succession under Augustus. There was also a Fabius consul under Tiberius. Panvinius and others have reckoned that during a period of about five centuries, from the time of the first Fabius who is mentioned as consul to the reign of Tiberius, forty-eight consulships, seven dictatorships, eight censorships, seven augurships, besides the offices of master of the horse and military tribune with consular power, were filled by individuals of the Fabian house. It could also boast of thirteen triumphs and two ovations.
