Lucius Fabius Justus was a Roman senator (active in the late 1st and early 2nd centuries AD) who occupied a number of offices in the imperial service.
Ronald Syme questioned in a 1957 essay the rationale behind Tacitus addressing his work to Justus instead of, for example, Pliny the Younger.
[2] Historian A. Kaballos notes that a number of senators bearing the gentilicum "Fabius", originated from Spain.
[3] According to the researcher Francoise de Bosque-Plateau, our Justus came from the Spanish city of Ulia[4] (Montemayor, Córdoba).
[8] Syme would date the two letters Pliny wrote him to his administration of Moesia Inferior, thus explaining why Justus had been too busy to write.
