クィントゥス・ファビウス・マクシムス・アッロブロギクスは、ローマの政治家であり将軍で、紀元前121年に執政官に選出された。執政官在任中、彼はアルウェルニ族とアッロブロゲス族と戦い、紀元前120年に彼らを破った。ガリア人に対する勝利により、凱旋式とアッロブロギクスの称号を授与された。
ファビウス・マクシムス・アロブロギクスは、紀元前145年のローマ執政官クィントゥス・ファビウス・マクシムス・アエミリアヌスの息子で、貴族の氏族ファビアの出身である。[注1 ]彼が初めて登場したのは紀元前134年の財務官選挙で、実の叔父であるスキピオ・アエミリアヌスが候補者として有権者に推薦し、アロブロギクスが選出された後、スキピオは彼を財務官としてヒスパニア・キテリオルに連れて行き、そこで第二次ヌマンティヌス戦争で戦った。そこでアロブロギクスは4,000人の志願兵の指揮を任された。[ 1 ]
By 124 BC, he had been elected to the office of praetor, since in 123 BC, he was appointed propraetor (governor) of one of the Hispanias (Citerior or Ulterior).[2] Whilst there, he was censured by the Senate, following a motion by Gaius Gracchus, for extorting gifts of grain from a Spanish town.[3] Then in 121 BC, he was elected consul alongside Lucius Opimius. During his consulship, he campaigned in Gallia Transalpina (in the modern day Auvergne and Rhône-Alpes regions) with Gnaeus Domitius Ahenobarbus against the Gallic tribes of the Allobroges and Arverni.[4] After his consulship expired, he replaced Domitius Ahenobarbus as proconsul in Gaul (120 BC), during which time he completed the defeat of the Allobroges and Arverni. For this he was awarded the honour of a triumph and given the agnomenAllobrogicus.[5] The triumph he held was famous for its spectacle, including the captive Arvernian king Bituitus in his silver battle armor. From the plunder of the Auvergne, Fabius erected the Fornix Fabianus (121 BC) crossing the Via Sacra at the Forum Romanum, placing a statue of himself on top of the arch.[6]
In 113 BC, he may have been the Quintus Fabius who was the leader of an embassy sent to Crete to help end some internal disputes between various cities on the island.[7] Then in 108 BC, either he or Quintus Fabius Maximus Eburnus was appointed to the office of Censor.
He was a known orator and a man of letters. Upon the death of his blood uncle Scipio Aemilianus in 129 BC, Fabius presented a banquet to the citizenry of Rome and pronounced the funeral oration of the deceased general. He had at least one son, also named Quintus Fabius Maximus Allobrogicus, who was notorious for his vices.[8] His grandson was Quintus Fabius Maximus.
