Probus: Roman Emperor from 276-282 AD. Under his reign the Roman armies successfully defeated the Germanic invaders in Gaul and put down a rebellion in Britain.
He encouraged the planting of vineyards in Gaul, Spain, and Britain and was evidently killed by troops who resented his discipline and being set to agricultural work.
