Political career
Being a legacy of César Augusto, in the year 12 B.C. C., he participated in the political reorganization of the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. He is the founder of the cities of Lugo (Lucus Augusti) and Braga (Bracara Augusta) from whose establishment foundational grounds are preserved.
In the year 11 B.C. C. he was named consul ordinarius along with Quintus Aelius Tuberón. He was a member of the college of pontiffs and patron of the Hadria colony on the Picenum, his career culminating in the proconsulate of Asia in 3 BC. C.-2 a. C..
The patricians of the Gens Fabia were one of the oldest and most illustrious families in Rome, but by the end of the Republic their status had begun to decline. Ronald Syme notes that the Fabii "had missed a generation at the consulate".
