Colgante-antoniniano del emperador Probo, continuidad y dedicación en la recuperación del imperio. Anverso: Busto radiado del emperador Probo vistiendo túnica drapeada mirando al Este. Leyenda: soldado IMP C M AVR PROBVS P F AVG Reverso: A la derecha, de pie, Probo, sosteniendo cetro con punta de águila, recibiendo un globo terráqueo de Júpiter, a la izquierda, sujetando báculo, crescendo (ᴗ) o T o corona (Ω) o estrella (*) o nada en campo medio inferior, XXI o KA en el exergo. Leyenda: CLEMENTIA TEMP * XXI "Aquí yace el emperador Probo, que es verdaderamente probo, vencedor de todos los pueblos bárbaros, vencedor también de los tiranos". El militar de carrera Marcus Aurelius Probus nacido en Sirmium (232 d.C.), uno de los límites del territorio romano, fue proclamado emperador (276-282 d.C.) por los legionarios dado el éxito obtenido bajo Valeriano, Galieno, Claudio II y Aureliano además de su continua dedicación para recuperar la seguridad de las fronteras del Imperio en las que se había criado. Eso significa que era el soberano ideal para la reparación del imperio tras la anarquía militar del siglo III y su dedicación tuvo un resultado positivo social y económico al ordenar: Ⅰ. desecar pantanos para garantizar tierras de cultivo y permitir a hispanos, galos, además de britanos, poseer viñedos y elaborar vino; Ⅱ. emitir gran cantidad de moneda con rapidez y diversidad : - con las iniciales de cada una de en las cecas y la reintegración de sol invicto; - incluyendo la mayor variedad de retratos del territorio (con corona de rayos o de laurel con las marcas XXI y KA) y en los reversos de áureos y aurelinianos grabados de gestas heroicas con espléndidos yelmos, escudos y lanzas en variadas combinaciones; Ⅲ. restaurar puentes, edificar templos, atrios y basílicas en Egipto, etc. Además, para que veas como era Probo en una campaña en tierras bárbaras, sus soldados capturaron un caballo que calcularon que podía recorrer 160 km diarios durante algo más de una semana y por supuesto se lo ofrecieron, pero lo rechazó diciendo que ese corcel era más adecuado para alguien interesado en la retirada y lo mandó sortear entre sus tropas. Sin embargo, el año 282, y ya establecida la paz, Probo llegó a su Sirmio natal y para ganar suelo agrícola para sus habitantes ordenó a miles de legionarios: - Secar una ciénaga. - Construir una fosa gigante. - Desviarla con un canal. Pero estos, exhaustos, abrasados por el calor, y terminada la guerra, se amotinaron y acabaron con él . A pesar de todo, estos le construyeron una gran sepultura de piedra y rocas con un epitafio honorífico: "Aquí yace el emperador Probo, que es verdaderamente probo, vencedor de todos los pueblos bárbaros, vencedor también de los tiranos".

"Here lies Emperor Probus, who is truly virtuous, conqueror of all the barbarian peoples, conqueror also of the tyrants."

The career soldier Marcus Aurelius Probus, born in Sirmium (232 AD), one of the limits of Roman territory, was proclaimed emperor (276-282 AD) by the legionaries due to the success achieved under Valerian, Gallienus, Claudius II, and Aurelian as well as his continuous dedication to restoring the security of the Empire's borders where he had been raised.

That means he was the ideal sovereign for the restoration of the empire after the military anarchy of the third century and his dedication had a positive social and economic outcome by ordering:

I. to drain swamps to guarantee agricultural land and allow Hispanics, Gauls, in addition to Britons, to own vineyards and produce wine;

II. emit a large amount of currency quickly and with diversity:

with the initials of each one in the mints and the reintegration of the unconquered sun;

including the greatest variety of portraits from the territory (with a crown of rays or laurel with the marks XXI and KA) and on the reverses of gold and aurelinian coins engraved with heroic deeds featuring splendid helmets, shields, and spears in various combinations;

III. restore bridges, build temples, courtyards and basilicas in Egypt, etc.

Moreover, to show you what Probus was like in a campaign in barbarian lands, his soldiers captured a horse that they calculated could cover 160 km daily for just over a week, and of course they offered it to him, but he rejected it, saying that the steed was more suitable for someone interested in retreat, and he ordered it to be raffled among his troops.

However, in the year 282, and with peace already established, Probus arrived at his native Sirmium and to gain agricultural land for his inhabitants he ordered thousands of legionaries:

To drain a swamp.
Build a giant pit.
Divert it with a channel.

But these, exhausted, burned by the heat, and with the war over, mutinied and finished him off.

Despite everything, they built him a great tomb of stone and rocks with an honorary epitaph:

"Here lies Emperor Probus, who is truly virtuous, conqueror of all the barbarian peoples, also a conqueror of tyrants."
