Quintus Fabius Pictor, an influential Roman historian during the Second Punic War era, is known for introducing Greek historiographical methods to Rome. His work portrayed the Roman Republic as a well-ordered state and blamed Carthage for the war. Fabius likely held the position of praetor, was a member of the Senate, and was part of a delegation to the oracle at Delphi. While some consider him one of the earliest annalists, this perspective has been met with criticism.
