     Probus. 276-282 AD. Antoninianus (4.15 gm). Cyzicus mint. IMP C M
     AVR PROBVS P F AVG, radiate bust left, wearing imperial mantle
     and holding eagle-tipped sceptre / SO-LI INVICT-O, Sol, head
     left, in spread quadriga facing; CM/XXIT. RIC V pt. 2, 911. EF.
     714052.

     The heroic Probus was well-regarded by later Roman historians,
     perhaps because of his careful attention to the old Republican
     traditions. Many of his coins depict him wearing the robes of a
     Roman consul, an office that had been largely ignored by his
     military predecessors. He was also apparently an inspiring
     military leader who took the fight against the barbarians to
     enemy territory for the first time in decades. He was a tough
     disciplinarian, though, and insisted that his soldiers take part
     in grunt work like road repair and clearing land for new
     vineyards, which led to a revolt by his troops and his own demise
     after six years of diligent, effective rule.

     Authenticity unconditionally guaranteed - 14 day return privilege
                              for any reason.

     CNG accepts for payment: check, money order or credit card (Visa,
      MasterCard, American Express). The manner of payment accepted is
                subject to our qualification of the bidder.

        CNG's Domestic, Canadian, and International postage rates.

         Pennsylvania residents please add appropriate sales tax.
