- Marcus Fabius Ambustus (consul 360 BC)
Marcus Fabius N.f. Ambustus (fl. 360–351 BC) was a statesman and general of the Roman Republic.
He served as consul three times: in 360, 356, and 354 BC. His consulships occurred during a time in which Rome was reasserting itself following its defeat at the hands of the Gauls in the Battle of the Allia of 387 BC. He defeated the Hernici in 356, and Tibur in 354, earning a triumph for the latter victory. However he was defeated by Tarquinia.[cite encyclopedia | author = John Hazel | title = Fabius 1.
