Years: 121BCE - 121BCE
Quintus Fabius Maximus Allobrogicus, successful in his conquest of Gallia Transalpina, is awarded the honor of a triumph and given the agnomen Allobrogicus.
The triumph he holds becomes famous for its spectacle, including the captive Arvernian king Bituitus in his silver ceremonial armor.
From the plunder of the Auvergne, Fabius erects the Fornix Fabianus (121 BCE; since destroyed) crossing the Via Sacra at the Forum Romanum and and adorns it with a statue of himself; it is the earliest such construction in the Roman Forum.
