Members of this genus, according to Plutarch, were previously called Fodias (from fodere , dig holes), since they were engaged in catching animals in holes. It was one of the most numerous and influential Roman families. When the Weentinians began to harass the Roman borders with frequent raids, and the Romans were distracted by the struggle with the Eques and Volks , the Fabians announced in the Senate that they would take the lead on the war with the Etruscan city of Veija. Obviously, this kind of land was adjacent to the Etruscan-Roman border, and Fabia, who suffered most from the raids of the Vietnamese, decided to wage a war, to which they mobilized about five thousand of their clients . On the banks of the Kremer Stream, they arranged a fortified shelter, from where the Etruscans were disturbed; finally, the latter lured them into an ambush, and Fabia to the last, including three hundred and six, were exterminated (477 BC). The successor of the clan was, according to legend, the only boy left at home ( Titus Livy , Prince II, 48-50). The city of Veija and its vast territory were captured by Rome in 396 BC. e.
