Numerius Fabius Vibulanus
__NOTOC__ Numerius (or Gnaeus) Fabius Vibulanus ( 421–407 BC) was a Roman senator and military commander. As consul in 421 BC, he campaigned successfully against the Aequi, for which he was awarded an ovation. During his term in office, Fabius and his colleague, Titus Quinctius, also carried a law which increased the number of quaestors from two to four. Fabius was later a consular tribune in 415 and 407 BC. In 407 BC, Fabius and the other tribunes oversaw the loss of Verrugo to the Volscians. Censor? Fabius could have been one of the unknown censors who completed the ''lustrum'' in between 417 and 404 BC as suggested by the classicist Jaakko Suolahti. Suolahti, drawing from the fact that the census described in 403 is numbered ''lustrum XVI'' and counting from ''lustrum X'' which was held in 459 BC only gives us four pairs of censors (in 443, 435, 430 and 418 BC), thus a missing ''lustrum XV''. Additionally drawing upon a gap in the Fasti Capitolini from 414 to 410 BC ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Each year, the Centuriate Assembly elected two consuls to serve jointly for a one-year term. The consuls alternated each month holding ''fasces'' (taking turns leading) when both were in Rome. A consul's ''imperium'' (military power) extended over Rome and all its Roman provinces, provinces. Having two consuls created a check on the power of any one individual, in accordance with the republican belief that the powers of the former King of Rome, kings of Rome should be spread out into multiple offices. To that end, each consul could veto the actions of the other consul. After the establishment of the Roman Empire, Empire (27 BC), the consuls became mere symboli ...
