Marcus Fulvius Bambalio

Marcus Fulvius Bambalio was a nobleman of the Fulvia gens of ancient Rome, who lived in the 1st century BCE. Based on his cognomen, and invective directed at him by his contemporaries, he must have had a speech disorder ("Bambalio" is derived from the Greek verb βαμβάλειν, meaning "to stutter"). It is unclear what exactly his social rank was; scholars disagree on whether he was or was not a nobilis, as contemporary writers would draw unfavorable comparisons between Fulvius's social rank and that of his son-in-law, Mark Antony. The writer Cicero called him "a complete nobody", and "stupid and ridiculous". Cicero in particular took the man's stutter as either evidence of, or a metaphor for, his poor moral character. There is no evidence that he ever ran for or held public office, possibly because of his stutter, as excellence in public speaking was a de facto requirement.

Sempronia's third husband, a man named Murena, made the paternal arrangements for his stepdaughter Fulvia's marriage to Clodius, which suggests Fulvius may have been dead by this time.
