Probus was a Roman Emperor who ruled from 276 to 282 AD, known for his military prowess and efforts to stabilize the empire during a tumultuous period. He successfully repelled various barbarian invasions, including defeating the Goths and other Germanic tribes, which helped restore Roman control over key provinces. Probus also implemented significant reforms, such as improving the infrastructure, encouraging agriculture, and promoting the economy through the production of wine and grain. He was ultimately assassinated by his own troops in 282 AD, marking the end of his efforts to secure the empire and paving the way for future challenges.
