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:
“John Brown’s career for the last six weeks of his life was meteor-like, flashing through the darkness in which we live. I know of nothing so miraculous in our history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“In time your relatives will come to accept the idea that a career is as important to you as your family. Of course, in time the polar ice cap will melt.”
—Barbara Dale (b. 1940)
