Commentary
Pour le règne de Probus, le classement repose sur le travail de Laurent Schmitt dans ROME II et de Jérôme Mairat dans ROME V. Jérôme Mairat a procédé au reclassement des émissions et des officines des différents ateliers en s’appuyant sur la théorie des cycles.
Mêmes coins que l’exemplaire du musée de Vienne (B 205b). Cet exemplaire est de même coin de droit que l’exemplaire du British Museum (B 202 R/ SOLI INVICTO). Le style est aussi apparenté à l’aureus de la même émission (B 201, cf. ROME II (couverture). C’est le troisième exemplaire signalé.

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.
