Babrii Fabulae Iambicae Cxxi is a collection of 121 fables written in iambic verse by Babrius, a Greek poet who lived sometime between the 3rd century BCE and the 3rd century CE.

Babrius's work is valued for its literary artistry and its contribution to the rich tradition of fable writing, offering readers a glimpse into the moral and social values of the ancient world.
