Quintus Baebius Herennius

Quintus Baebius Herennius, tribune of the plebs in 216 BC. He was a relative by marriage of Gaius Terentius Varro, and actively supported his candidacy for the consulship against the senatorial elite, who objected to Varro's humble origins. According to Livy, Baebius criticized the emergence of a new elite forged from the patricians and plebeian nobiles, altering the traditional social structure.

Note:

• Seems and probably a his father was maybe Herennius Baebius (?), in that case he was a nephew of Gnaeus Baebius, but does not rule out the possibility that he was the son of him, if he may have adopted him, after the death of eventual his biological father Herennius. (?)
