Marcus Fabius Vibulanus was consul of the Roman republic in 442 BC and consular tribune in 433 BC. [1]
Marcus belonged to the influential Fabia gens and was the son of one of the early republic's leading men,Quintus Fabius Vibulanus,consul in 467,465 and 459 BC. He was probably the elder brother of Quintus Fabius Vibulanus,consul in 423 BC,and Gnaeus Fabius Vibulanus,consul in 421 BC. Filiations indicate that he,or an otherwise unattested Marcus Fabius Ambustus,pontifex maximus in 390 BC,is the father of the three brothers and consular tribunes Caeso Fabius Ambustus,Numerius Fabius Ambustus and Quintus Fabius Ambustus.
Marcus was elected consul in 442 BC together with Postumus Aebutius Hela Cornicen. Their year of office was peaceful and they enacted measures to send commissioners to establish a colony at Ardea. Many Romans wanted the colony to receive the majority of the land distributed,but it was decided to allot it first to the Rutuli,who were native to Ardea,and give the Roman colonists the remaining land. [2] [3] [4]
In 437 BC Rome was involved with wars against the Veii,Falerii and the Fidenae,A dictator,Mamercus Aemilius Mamercinus,was appointed to handle the crisis. Marcus was one of the legates under the dictator and led armies against the Veii. [5] [6]
In 433 BC,Marcus was elected to hold imperium once more,as consular tribune,together with Marcus Folius Flaccinator and Lucius Sergius Fidenas. [7] [8] [9]
Two years later,in 431 BC,he was again appointed legate,serving under the dictator Aulus Postumius Tubertus against the Aequi and Volsci. [10] [11]
The gens Fabia was one of the most ancient patrician families at ancient Rome. The gens played a prominent part in history soon after the establishment of the Republic,and three brothers were invested with seven successive consulships,from 485 to 479 BC,thereby cementing the high repute of the family. Overall,the Fabii received 45 consulships during the Republic. The house derived its greatest lustre from the patriotic courage and tragic fate of the 306 Fabii in the Battle of the Cremera,477 BC. But the Fabii were not distinguished as warriors alone;several members of the gens were also important in the history of Roman literature and the arts.
Postumus Aebutius Helva Cornicen was consul at Rome in 442 BC,and magister equitum in 435.
Lucius Furius Medullinus,of the patrician gens Furia,was a politician and general of the Roman Republic who was consul twice and Consular Tribune seven times.

Gaius Julius Iullus was a Roman statesman,who held the consulship in 482 BC. After a contentious election,he was chosen to represent the more moderate faction in Roman politics,while his colleague,Quintus Fabius Vibulanus,was elected by the aristocratic party. Both consuls led a Roman army against Veii,but withdrew when the Veientes refused to confront them. Thirty years later,in 451,Julius was chosen a member of the first decemvirate,alongside several other ex-consuls and other respected statesmen. Julius proved himself a man of good judgment and integrity,and helped to draw up the first ten tables of Roman law.
