Alexa ndros Dietrick vom dem Einhornwald registered June 1988 via Caius: Common praenomen. This is one of the 17 original Praenomen of Roman males. You find this name in Roman history but also in Roman medieval church history all the way until the end of our period. Plutach wrote the life of Caius Gracchus and the Life of Caius Marius. (C and G were interchangeable letters). Caius Julius Caesar is a well know author. Caius was pope for twelve years, four months, and seven days, from 17 Decemb er 283 to 22 April, 296, according to he Liberian catalogue (Harnack, Chronol., I, 155, after Lipsius and Lightfoot); Eusebius is wrong in giving him fifteen years. He is mentioned in the fourth-century deposito Episcoporum (therefore not as a martyr): X kl maii Caii in Callisti. He was burried in the chapel of the popes in that cemetary. Nothing whatever is known of his life. He lived in the time of peace before the last great persecution. Fabius: Common gens nomen from tribal name Fabia. This is a Gens name. Plutarch wrote: Having related the memorable actions of Pericles, our history now proceeds to the life of Fabius. A son of Hercules and a nymph, of some woman of that country, who brought him forth on the banks of Tiber, was, it is said, the first Fabius, the founder of the numerous and distinguished family of the name. Others will have it that they were first called Fodii, because the first of the race delighted in digging pitfalls for wild beasts, fodere being still the Latin for to dig, and fossa for a ditch, and that in process of time, by the change of the two letters, they grew to be called Fabii. But be these things true of false, certain it is that this family for a long time yielded a great number of eminent persons. Our Fabius, who was fourth in descent from that Fabius Rullus who first brought the honourable surname of Maximus into his family, was also, by way of personal nickname, called Verrucosus, from a wart on his upper lip; and in his childhood they in like manner named him Ovicula, or The Lamb, on account of his extreme mildness of temper. His slowness in speaking, his long labour and pains in learning, his deliberation in entering in to the sports of other children, his easy submission to everybody, as if he had no will of his own, made those who judge superficially of him, the greater number, esteem him insensible and stupid; and few only saw that this tardiness proceeded from stability, and discerned the greatness of his mind, and the lionlikeness of his temper. But as soon as he came into employments, his virtues exerted and showed themselves; his reputed want of energy then was recognized by people in general as a freedom of passion; his slowness in words and actions, the effect of a true prudence; his want of rapidity and his sluggishness, as constancy and firmness. The name Fabius is made famous by Quintus Fabius Maximus, Fabius, ancient Roman gens. The family was most distinguished from the 5 th cent. B.C. onward. However, little is known of the early members. Quintus Fabius Vibulanus,. Fl. 450 B.C., was consul three times (467, 465, 459) and a member of the decemvirate. Although he had served Rome will in battle, he was exiled with the other decemvirs. His descendant, Quintus Fabius Maximus Rullianus or Rullus,. D. c.291 B.C. was consul five times (322, 310, 308, 297, 295) and dictator (315). He attacked the Samnites in 325 and was victorious, but his disobedience of orders brought his condemnation by Lucius Papirius Cursor, who was dictator at the time. Rullianus was renowned as a general, especially for his victory over the Etruscans, the Samnites, and their allies at Sentinum (295). His descendant, Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus,. D. 203 B.C., the opponent of

2 Ansteorran Letter of Intent 21 May 2003 Page 2 of 5 Hannibal, was called Cunctator [Lat.,=delayer] because of his tactics, from which the term Fabian, referring to a waiting policy, is derived. He was consul five times (233, 228, 215, 214, 209) and dictator (217). Fabius kept his army always near Hannibal s but never attacked, harassing Hannibal continually, but never joining battle. The Romans tired of Fabius policy, and he was supplanted (216); the rout at Cannae was the result. In his last consulship Fabius took Tarentum (now Taranto) from Hannibal, a signal victory. Another branch of the family was represented by Caius Fabius Pictor. [Lat.,=the painter], fl. 302 B.C., who painted the temple of Salus at Rome, the first recorded Roman painting. His grandson was Quintus Fabius Pictor,. Fl. 225 B.C., the first Roman annalist; his history covered Rome from Aeneas to the Second Punic War. His work is lost. Quintus Fabius Labeo,. Fl. 180 B.C., praetor (189), was commander of the fleet in an eastern campaign. He seems to have used his power largely for his own aggrandizement. An adoptive member of the gens was Quintus Fabius Maximus,. Fl. 121 B.C., consul (121), called Allobrogicus, because of his victory over the Allobroges in Gaul.
