Gaius Fuficius Fango

Gaius Fuficius Fango or Phango (died 40 BCE) was an Ancient Roman military leader and politician.

When, in 40 BCE, Octavianus annexed Numidia and part of Roman Africa to his share of the triumviral provinces, he appointed Fango his prefect.

Military conflict ensued, and after mutual defeats and victories, Fango was driven into the hills that bounded the Roman province to the north-west.

There, mistaking the rushing of a troop of wild buffaloes for a night attack of Numidian horse, he killed himself.

[1][2] In Cicero's letters to Atticus,[3] Frangones is probably a misreading for Fangones, and refers to Fango.
