		Fabius is affected strongly by the Greek historiography, their model function shows up already during its representation of the early period.

		Their choice unanimously fell upon Fabius, whose character seemed equal to the greatness of the office; whose age was so far advanced as to give him experience, without taking from him the vigor of action; his body could execute what his soul designed; and his temper was a happy compound of confidence and cautiousness.

		A Latin version of the work was in existence in the time of Cicero, but it is doubtful whether it was by Fabius Pictor or by a later writer with whom he was confused - Q. Fabius Maximus Servilianus (consul 142); or there may have been two annalists of the name of Fabius Pictor.

		But Fabius adhered to his former principles, still persuaded that, by following close and not fighting him, Hannibal and his army would at last be tired out and consumed, like a wrestler in too high condition, whose very excess of strength makes him the more likely suddenly to give way and lose it.
		In preserving the towns and allies from revolt by fair and gentle treatment, and in not using rigor, or showing a suspicion upon every light suggestion, his conduct was remarkable.
		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 reestablished happiness and security of the commonwealth; for about the time that Hannibal left Italy, he fell sick and died.

	QVIRIN - NumisWiki, The Collaborative Numismatics Project
		Ursin, Vailant, and Spanheim have all interpreted the inscription on the shield by reading it Qvirinus, and have expressed their belief that Quirinus (or the deified Romulus) himself is exhibited by the type of the seated figure.
		Besides which, it appears that Quirinus was usually represented with a flowing beard, as may be seen of a denarius of the Memmia Family.
		For which reason, as Havercamp rightly observes, the figure on the coin of Fabius is rather to be regarded as the image of Rome, and to br read Qvirinalis, namely Flamen, as is more fully inscribed on medals of the Cornelia family, L LENTVLVS FLAMEN MARTIALIS.
