Marriage and Children
In the 10s BCE, Paullus married Marcia, daughter of Lucius Marcius Philippus (suff. 38BCE) and Atia (a maternal aunt of Augustus). As a result of her maternity, Marcia was a first cousin of Augustus.
Paullus had at least one child by Marcia, a son, named Paullus Fabius Persicus (consul 34), who was probably born in 2 or 1 BCE. A second child may have been Fabia Numantina, although it is possible that she was a daughter of Paullus' brother, Africanus Fabius Maximus.
