1. L. Baebius, one of the ambassadors sent by Scipio to Carthage, B. C. 202. He was afterwards left by Scipio in command of the camp. (Liv. 30.25; Plb. 15.1, 4.)
2. Q. Baebius, tribune of the plebs, B. C. 200, endeavoured to persuade the people not to engage in the war against Philip of Macedon. (Liv. 31.6.)

5. A. Baebius, caused the members of the Aetolian senate to be killed in B. C. 167, and was in consequence afterwards condemned at Rome.

Whether, however, Baebius had the government of Aetolia, or only of the town in which the murder was perpetrated, is uncertain. (Liv. 45.28, 31.)
6. C. Baebius, tribune of the plebs, B. C. 111, was bribed by Jugurtha when the latter came to Rome. When Mummius commanded Jugurtha to give answers to certain questions, Baebius bade him be silent, and thus quashed the investigation. (Sal. Jug. 33, 34.)

9. M. Baebius, a brave man, slain by order of L. Piso in Macedonia, B. C. 57. (Cic. in Pis. 36.)
