Family
Eburnus was the son of Quintus Fabius Maximus Servilianus, consul in 142 BC, himself adopted from the gens Servilia into the gens Fabia, allegedly by one of the two adoptive sons of Fabius Maximus himself. Two of his paternal uncles—Gnaeus Servilius Caepio and Quintus Servilius Caepio—served as consuls in 141 and 140 successively. His first cousin was Quintus Servilius Caepio, consul in 106 BC and the co-commander at Arausio in 105. (This Caepio was paternal grandfather of Caesar's lover Servilia).

Famous quotes containing the word family:

—Donald C. Medeiros (20th century)
“Our society is not a community, but merely a collection of isolated family units.”
