 Fabius Maximus Rullianus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quintus Fabius Maximus Rullianus (or Rullus), son of Marcus, of the patrician Fabii of ancient Rome, was five times consul and a hero of the Samnite Wars.
Rullianus' son was Fabius Gurges, and his great-grandson the Fabius Maximus, Cunctator, of the Second Punic War.
Although Rullianus' fame is undoubted, the main source of his life is Livy, who in turn worked from annals by Fabius Pictor and others, and many of the details are suspiciously similar to stories of the Cunctator.

 The Great Delayer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Fabius, before the night was over, quickly found out the trick; for some of the beasts fell into his hands; but for fear of an ambush in the dark, he kept his men all night to their arms in the camp.
Fabius Maximus, however, did not live to see the prosperous end of this war, and the final overthrow of Hannibal, nor to rejoice in the re-established happiness and security of the commonwealth; for about the time that Hannibal left Italy, he fell sick and died.
Fabius did not need this, but the people, as a mark of their affection, defrayed the expenses of his funeral by a private contribution from each citizen of the smallest piece of coin; thus owning him their common father, and making his end no less honourable than his life.

Fabius takes Tarentum and punished the inhabitants for their defection by condemning them to slavery.
But as soon as he came into employments, his virtues exerted and showed themselves; his reputed want of energy then was recognized by people in general as a freedom of passion; his slowness in words and actions, the effect of a true prudence; his want of rapidity and his sluggishness, as constancy and firmness.
He was five times consul, and in his first consulship had the honour of a triumph for the victory he gained over the Ligurians, whom he defeated in a set battle, and drove them to take shelter in the Alps, from whence they never after made any inroad or depredation upon their neighbours.

 Roman dictator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
A legal innovation of the Roman Republic, the dictator (Latin for "one who dictates (orders)") — also known as the Praetor maximus ("The supreme Praetor") magister populi ("master of the peoples") — was an extraordinary magistrate (magistratus extraordinarius) whose function was to perform extraordinary tasks exceeding the authority of any of the ordinary magistrates.
After the end of the war, the Dictatoship was outlawed, replaced with the senatus consultam ultimum, an emergency act of the Senate that authorized the two consuls to take whatever actions were needed to defend the Republic.
The office was later offered to Caesar Augustus, who prudently declined it, and opted instead for tribunician power and consular imperium without holding any office other than pontifex maximus and princeps senatus — a politic arrangement which left him as functional dictator without having to hold the controversial title or office itself.
