L. Opimius. Q. Maximus.

THis yeere had for Consuls, Lu. Opimius & Q. Maximus, as witnesseth Cassiodo∣rus. The Sicilian catalogue sheweth Opi∣mius and Maximus. But Obsequens, L. Opimius and Qu. Fabius Maximus. Plinie speaketh of them in his second booke, saying, About the sunne there appeared an arch or bow, when L. Opinius and Q. Fabius were Consuls. This Qu. Fabius Maximus is by Cicero in Brutus, Flo∣rus in his Epitome, Velleius in his 2 books, and Paedianus upon the Orations against Verres, rightly named the nephew of Paulus, and son of Fabius Aemylianus. And so may Strabo, Ap∣pian, and Plinie bee well reprooved, for making him and his father Aemylianus, all one. The same man, as Cicero and Plinie testifie, was surnamed Allobrogicus, upon a victorie over the Allobroges. Of this Lucius Opimius Con∣sull, after whose name there was a wine called Opimianum, Plinie maketh mention in his foureteenth booke and fourth chap. Plutarch also in C. Gracchus, and Velleius in his second booke.
