Career
The career of Africanus Fabius Maximus is much less clear than that of his brother. It is proposed that the earliest post of Africanus was as a military tribune in Spain, though this is not certain. His only two certain posts were as ordinary consul in 10BCE (with Iullus Antonius), and as proconsul of Africa in 6/5BCE.
It was during his tenure as proconsul of Africa that Africanus struck some coins that bore his own image .

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
