Roman Empire, Probus 276-282 AD, Silvered Antoniniuanus

Marcus Aurelius Probus (/ˈproʊbəs/; 230–235 – September 282) was Roman emperor from 276 to 282. Probus was an active and successful general as well as a conscientious administrator, and in his reign of six years he secured prosperity for the inner provinces while withstanding repeated invasions of barbarian tribes on almost every sector of the frontier.^[6]

After repelling the foreign enemies of the empire, Probus was forced to handle several internal revolts but demonstrated leniency and moderation to the vanquished wherever possible.^[7] Despite the military basis of his power, he presented himself as a constitutional monarch who respected the authority of the Roman Senate.^[8]
