Ho decorated the Temple of Salus (dedicated 302 u.c.) with a mural painting representing a buttle won by the Dictator C. Junius Brutus Bubulcus over the Samnites (Valor. Maximus, viii. 14, 0). This is the earliest recorded Roman paint- ing. Fabius's style was marked by simplic- ity and absence of mannerism. An excel- lent draughtsman, he combined in his work the clear outlines of the Old Attic with the rich colouring of the Theban Attic school. On account of his eminence in his art his surname, Pictor (Painter), was given to a family of the Fabia gens, and borne by his descendants. Pliny, xxxv. 19.
