Career
The career of Africanus Fabius Maximus is much less clear than that of his brother. It is believed that Africanus' earliest post was as a military tribune in Spain, though this is not certain. His only two certain civilian posts were as ordinary consul in 10 BC, and as proconsul of Africa in 6/5 BC. He was admitted to the priesthood of the septemviri epulonum at some point after 25 BC.It was during his tenure as proconsul of Africa that Africanus struck some coins that bore his own image.
