Fabius Labeo 124 BC

Fabius Maximus Allobrogicus, a member of the patrician  gens  Fabia, was the son of Quintus Fabius Maximus Aemilianus , consul  of 145 BC . When consul in 121 BC  he campaigned in Gallia Transalpina  (in the modern day Auvergne  and Rhône-Alpes  regions) with Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus  against the Gallic tribes of the Allobroges and Arverni  whom he defeated. For this he was awarded the honour of a triumph and given the agnomen  Allobrogicus. The triumph he held was famous for its spectacle, including the captive Arvernian king Bituitus in his silver battle armor. From the plunder of the Auvergne, Fabius erected the Fornix Fabianus (121 BC) crossing the Via Sacra at the Forum Romanum .
He was a known orator and a man of letters. Upon the death of his blood uncle Scipio Aemilianus  in 129 BC , Fabius presented a banquet to the citizenry of Rome and pronounced the funeral oration of the deceased general.
