Fabii

members of a patrician gens in ancient Rome. The Fabii took part in nearly all the leading events in Roman history. At Veii in 477 B.C., for example, 306 of them perished in the battle against the Etruscans. Among the foremost members of the gens were the military commander Quintus Fabius Maximus Cunctator and the historian Quintus Fabius Pictor.
