Quintus Fabius Maximus Rullianus

Quintus Fabius Maximus Rullianus (or Rullus) was a patrician, politician and soldier of the Roman Republic during the fourth and early third century BC. He was the son of Marcus Fabius Ambustus, of the patrician Fabii, was five times consul, dictator once (possibly twice), censor, and a hero of the Samnite Wars. He was brother to Marcus Fabius Ambustus , who was named after their father, and the grandfather (or great-grandfather) of Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus (hero of the Second Punic War). His first appearance in surviving records is as magister equitum in 325 BC, when he won a daring victory against the Samnites at Imbrinium. However, he had acted without the authority of the dictator Lucius Papirius Cursor, who was angry and demanded that the Senate punish Fabius for disobeying orders. Read more on Wikipedia
