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.

Sol Invictus: the Roman cult of Sol existed in Rome since the early Republic, but was highly promoted by Elagabalus and Aurelian. In 274 AD, December 25 Aurelian established the cult of Sol Invictus as an official religion.
