Fabia'nus, Vale'rius
a Roman of rank sufficient to aspire to the honours of the state, was convicted before the senate in A. D. 62, of conspiring with Vincius Rufinus, Antonius Primus, and others, to impose on his aged and wealthy relative, Domitius Balbus, a forged will. Fabianus was degraded from the senatorian order by the Lex Cornelia
Testamentaria or De Falsis. (
Tac. Ann. 14.40; comp. Instit. 4.18.7; Paulus,
Recept. Sententiarum, v. tit. 25.)
