On a completely unrelated note, does anyone know what year the Quintus Fabius Maximus who was consul in 213 BC (ie, not Verrucosus | Cunctator, but his son) was born?

I can see that trying to work out his age from the cursus honorum is not going to work, because he did the whole thing in a back-to-back slingshot and in any case I don't believe the minimum ages had been codified by law in the third century. I know he died before 203 BCE; Cicero praised the father's funeral oration for the son. I'll see if I can find anything about the other date.
