Paullus Fabius Maximus - Marriage and Children

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.

Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or children:

    I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career.
    Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)

    Sports and gallantries, the stage, the arts, the antics of dancers,
    The exuberant voices of music,
    Have charm for children but lack nobility; it is bitter earnestness
    That makes beauty; the mind
    Knows, grown adult.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
