Commentary
Avec l’intégralité de son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Cuirasse et épaulières cloutées. Ptéryges fines. Au revers, nous remarquons un petit défaut de métal sous le S de SPES. C’est la première fois que nous proposons ce type à la vente. C’est le sixième exemplaire recensé. Malgré la rareté du type, nous n’avons pas relevé d’identité de coin pertinente malgré la rareté du type. C’est le sixième exemplaire signalé. Prendra le numéro 328d dans le Supplément III du Bastien.
With all of its surface silvering. Type 3 ribbons with pelleted ends. Studded breastplate and shoulder guards. Thin pteryges. On the reverse, we note a small metal defect under the S of SPES. This is the first time we have offered this type for sale. This is the sixth example recorded. Despite the rarity of the type, we have not noted any relevant die identity despite the rarity of the type. This is the sixth example reported. Will take the number 328d in Supplement III of Bastien

Historical background
PROBUS
(06-07/276-09/282)
Probus was born on August 19, 232 in Sirmium. He led a brilliant military career during the reigns between Valerian I and Tacitus. Commander of the army of the East on the death of Tacitus, he was immediately proclaimed emperor and easily triumphed over Florian, who was assassinated. The situation is serious. The Rhine-Danubian limes gave way under the pressure of the Germanic invasions. Probus restores peace in Gaul, in Germania then in Rhaetia where he inflicts a severe defeat on the Germanic peoples, in Thrace where he crushes the Sarmatians and the Scythians, in Asia Minor which he cleans of looters and Pamphylian pirates, finally in Africa where he ends the incursions of the Blemmyes. In 280, he signed peace with Vahram II, Sassanid monarch. He must face the usurpations of Saturnin, Bonose and Proculus. Probus, having triumphed over all his adversaries, returned to Rome in 281 and celebrated his victories. Before preparing a new expedition against the Sassanids, he fell under the blows of his own soldiers at Sirmium in 282.
