PROBUS: Roman Emperor from 276-282 AD. Under his reign the Roman armies successfully defeated the Germanic invaders in Gaul and put down a rebellion in Britain.
He encouraged the planting of vineyards in Gaul, Spain, and Britain and was evidently killed by troops who resented his discipline and being set to agricultural work.
ADVENTVS PROBI AVG: Arrival of Emperor Probus. The arrival of the emperor to Rome was a major event worthy of celebration and commemoration. The type usually shows the emperor on horseback, raising his right hand in greeting, sometimes accompanied by soldier and sometimes with a small captive under the horse's raised right leg.
