		Often afterwards in the Senate the voice of a Fabius was heard speaking for justice to the plebeians.
		Now the Fabii saw clearly that it would be useless to attempt to fight the nobles, because the nobles had a great deal of power and could do almost whatever they pleased in Rome.
		Therefore, the Fabii thought that it would be better for them to remove from the city and make a new home for themselves somewhere else.

	Veii
		Then, the Fabii built a defensive blockhouse at the Cremora which the Veians considered a challenge thrown in their teeth.
		Thre hundred of the Fabii and their clients occupied the blockhouse with intentions of holding this strongpoint against Veii in 476.
		This led to the Battle of the Cremora in which three hundred Fabii were killed and the area was abandoned to the Veiians.

		Livio riporta che quando i Fabii, in assetto di guerra, marciarono attraverso Roma per raggiungere la zona delle operazioni, tutta la popolazione scese nelle strade per acclamare quei valorosi che si erano assunti l?onere di questo scontro.
		Convinti dell?abbandono delle postazioni nemiche più prossime al presidio, i Fabii si avventurarono in territorio aperto per catturare una mandria di bovini apparentemente allo stato brado, in realtà spinta lì dal nemico.
		Livio narra che i Fabii vennero massacrati tutti, dal primo all?ultimo, ed il loro campo espugnato.

	Fabia - NumisWiki, The Collaborative Numismatics Project
		There are eleven or twelve distinctly different types, and many more unimportant varieties in the coins of the gens; but they offer few subjects of interest, even on the most select and rare of their reverses.
		Of the Fabii who were Flamines Quirinales frequent mention is made in Livy and in Val.
		Maximus, who, in narrating the same fact, denounces painting as an occupation too mean for a citizen of the noblest rank to persue, and treats the performance of Pictor with corresponding distain.

		A temple in Rome was dedicated to her and known as the Temple of Carmentis.
		The right arch of this temple was called the porta scelerata, the portal of guilt, because the Fabii passed through it on their way to destruction at Cremera.

	Appian's History of Rome: the Gallic Wars
		So the three Fabii were sent with the Clusians as ambassadors to the Gauls to order them to vacate the country that was in alliance with Rome, and to threaten them if they did not obey.
		The Fabii urged the Clusians to make an attack upon the Gauls while they were heedlessly plundering the country.
		As the latter refused, they elected the Fabii military tribunes for that year, and then said to the Gallic ambassadors that they could not do anything to the Fabii now because they were now holding office, but told them to come again next year if they were still in a bad humor.

	4. Sculpture
		(The Fabii did seem to have a radical streak: a later descendent was the first Roman to seriously pursue another suspect career, that of writing history.) Nevertheless, despite the shame he risked incurring to the family name, Fabius did the painting, and did a fine job.
		So this Fabius became known to posterity as Fabius Pictor, "Fabius the Painter." But the Fabii were very much the exception to the rule when it came to participating in artistic creation.
		The rule was that when the Romans wanted or needed a piece of art other than what they acquired through military conquest, they commissioned an foreign artist to produce it for them.

	Camillus by Plutarch
		The sally being made, and the fight growing hot about the walls, one of the Fabii, Quintus Ambustus, being well mounted, and setting spurs to his horse, made full against a Gaul, a man of huge bulk and stature, whom he saw riding out at a distance from the rest.
		But not wishing that it should look as if they took advantage of that injury, and were ready to embrace any occasion of quarrel, he sent a herald to demand the man in punishment, and in the meantime marched leisurely on.
		The senate being met at Rome, among many others that spoke against the Fabii, the priests called fecials were the most decided, who, on the religious ground, urged the senate that they should lay the whole guilt and penalty of the fact upon him that committed it, and so exonerate the rest.

		Therefore, the Romans sent three envoys from the Fabii family to mediate between the Clusians and the Celts.
		According to one source (Gerhard Herm), the Celts met with the Roman envoys and agreed to not wage war in exchange for land.
		Whoever it was that killed the Celtic chief, scholars seem to agree that it was a member of the highly influential and powerful Fabii family.

		Druhou Fabii malovala Vlasta Baránková, známá kupříkladu svými pohádkami O Lískulce.

		Fabii s jeho obrázky má k dispozici pražský tým klaunů, který však díky novému vozu mohl rozšířit své pole působnosti také na nemocnice v České Lípě a Mladé Boleslavi.
