Maximus, Fabius
12. Q. Fabius Maximus Eburnus, was city praetor in B. C. 118, when he presided at the impeachment of C. Papirius Carbo, accused of majestas by L. Crassus. (CARBO, PAPIRIUS, No. 2.; Cic. de Orat. 1.26.) Fabius was consul in B. C. 116. He condemned one of his sons to death for immorality; but being subsequently accused by Cn. Pompeius Strabo of exceeding the limits of the " patria potestas," he went into exile, and probably to Nuceria. (Cic. pro Balb. 11; V. Max. 6.1.5; Oros. 5.16.)
