    Citing Urbicus’ career inscription, Colin Wells concludes that: “At no other period of history could the second or third son of a Berber landowner from a very small town in the interior enjoy a career which took him to Asia, Judaea, the Danube . . . the lower Rhine and Great Britain, culminating in a position of great power and honor in the capital of the empire to which all these regions belonged.”[14]

    Hell of a career!
