You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((For|the politician|Gaius Fabius Pictor (consul)))
'''Gaius (or Caius) Fabius Pictor''' made some of the earliest [[Painting in ancient Rome|Roman paintings]] that have survived.  At least some of his works were painted in 304 BC.<ref name="Matz2000">((cite book|author=David Matz|title=Famous Firsts in the Ancient Greek and Roman World|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=MDjZr6NxQPMC&pg=PA89|year=2000|publisher=McFarland|isbn=978-0-7864-0599-2|pages=89–))</ref> No tradition of Roman painting exists earlier than the time of Fabius, nor does his example appear to have been followed by any of his contemporaries; for an interval of nearly a hundred and fifty years occurs before any mention is made of another Roman painter.

Fabius, called Pictor, a Roman artist, descended from the celebrated [[Fabia gens|family of the Fabii]], painted principally at Rome. Pictor was the grandfather of the Roman historian [[Quintus Fabius Pictor]]. In 304 BC, Pictor decorated the Temple of [[Salus]] on the [[Quirinal Hill]], with a representation (presumably) of the battle gained by [[Gaius Junius Bubulcus Brutus|Bubulcus]] over the [[Samnium|Samnites]]. His paintings were preserved until the reign of the [[Caligula|Emperor Gaius]], when the temple was destroyed by fire. They were probably held in little estimation, as [[Pliny the Elder|Pliny]], to whom they must have been known, neither acquaints us with the subjects, nor commends the execution.

The art of painting in its rude and early forms was general in Italy, but was founded on the [[Etruscan art|Etruscan style]], which never advanced beyond a flat [[Polychrome|polychromatic]] treatment.  In painting Romans never acquired the individuality in which it did in the other arts. Painting was then little respected by the Romans, and that the title of ''Pictor'' was not considered as an honourable distinction, but rather intended to stigmatize the illustrious character who had degraded his dignity by the practice of an art which was held in no consideration, may be inferred from a passage of [[Cicero]], in the first book of his ''[[Tusculanae Disputationes|Tusculan Disputations]]'': "An censemus si Fabio nobilissimo homini laudatum esset quod pingeret, non multos etiam apud nos Polycletos et [[Parrhasius (painter)|Parrhasios]] fuisse." (That is: "Do we imagine that if it had been considered commendable in Fabius, a man of the highest rank, to paint, we should not have had many Polycleti and Parrhasii."<ref>((cite book |last1=Cicero |first1=Marcus Tullius |last2=Yonge |first2=Charles Duke (tr.) |title=The Tusculan Disputations 1.II |publisher=The University of Adelaide |url=http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/c/cicero/tusculan-disputations/book1.html |access-date=April 7, 2019 |archive-date=November 16, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171116014731/https://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/c/cicero/tusculan-disputations/book1.html |url-status=dead ))</ref>)
