Commentary


Avec son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 3. Exemplaire fauté au revers avec TEMR au lieu de TEMP. Légende ponctuée au droit. Même coin de droit que l’exemplaire du Cabinet des médailles de la BnF (n° 12.539), Bastien, n° 347a, pl. XXXVIII. En revanche, nous n’avons pas relevé d’identité de coin pertinente avec l’exemplaire du Supplément II. C’est le second exemplaire signalé. Prendra le numéro 347(alpha)b dans le Supplément III du Bastien.
With its superficial silver plating. Type 3 ribbons. example faulty on the reverse with TEMR instead of TEMP. Legend punctuated on the obverse. Same obverse die as the example in the Cabinet des médailles of the BnF (no. 12.539), Bastien, no. 347a, pl. XXXVIII. On the other hand, we have not noted any relevant die identity with the example in Supplement II. This is the second example reported. Will take the number 347(alpha)b 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.
