Commentary
Avec toute son argenture. Exemplaire à légende de droit ponctuée. Semble complètement inédit et non répertorié pour l’officine. Manque à tous les ouvrages. Prendra le numéro 316(alpha) lors de la publication du Supplément III de l’ouvrage de P. Bastien consacré au monnayage lyonnais. Pour le moment aucun aurelianus avec cette légende et ce type de revers n’était répertorié pour la première officine. Seuls de rares aureliani pour la deuxième officine étaient recensés dans l’ouvrage du Docteur Bastien (B. 317 à 323).
With all its silver plating. example with punctuated obverse legend. Appears completely unpublished and not listed for the officina. Missing from all works. Will take the number 316 (alpha) when Supplement III of P. Bastien's work devoted to the coinage of Lyon is published. For the moment, no aurelianus with this legend and this type of reverse was listed for the first officina. Only rare aureliani for the second officina were listed in the work of Doctor Bastien (B. 317 to 323)

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.
