Marcus Aurelius Probus was a great general who rebelled against Florian successfully in 276 AD. He fought and pacified the entire empire, but met his end when he enraged his troops - now with nobody left to fight - by having them plant vinyards and do other non-military work, and was murdered by them in 282 AD.
