Brill's New Pauly: "Roman senator and historian (in Cic. Brut. 99 falsely differentiated from a relative). F. distinguished himself in 146 BC with Ti. Gracchus at the storming of Carthage (Plut. Gracchi 4,6), fought in 141 as tribunus militum in Spain (App. Ib. 287), was the son-in-law of C. Laelius and heard Panaetius (Cic. Brut. 100f.). In 122 he attained the consulacy, supported by C. Gracchus ( Sempronius) (MRR 1, 516), but in a sensational speech turned against Gracchus' citizenship policy (ORF4 no. 32, fr. 1-5). Probably after 120 he wrote a historical work in at least 8 bks., which in spite of its title Annales perhaps dealt only with contemporary history. ...." Kierdorf, Wilhelm (Köln). Fannius."
