2. C.FanniusStrabo, C. F., the son of the preceding, was consul B. C. 122 with Cn. Domitius Ahenobarbus. In his tribuneship of the plebs he had followed the guidance and advice of Scipio Africanus senior. Fannius owed his election to the consulship chiefly to the influence of C. Gracchus, who canvassed the people on his behalf, as he was anxious to prevent his enemy Opimius from obtaining the office.
