Probus ROME

Probus ROME

Collection by Graudenz • Created 1 week ago • 27 items • 12 views

Attribution and order of display of Probus coins from the mint of Rome is based on the work of Jean Guillemain: La monetazione di Probo a Roma (276-282 d.C.), Rome, Quasar, 2009, 286 p., 20 pl. (« Ripostiglio della Venèra, Nuovo catalogo illustrato », III, 1) - hereinafter "MPR"

RIC V.2 references are given as secondary references.

For citing the number of known examples of particular types from the first two emmissions I am also relying on the article by S. Estiot and Ph. Gysen "L'atelier de Rome au début du règne de Probus (276-277)" published in Revue Numismatique (2006) p.231-257 - hereinafter "S.Estiot, Ph.Gysen RN 2006"

Classification of busts is based on the fundamental work of Pierre BASTIEN, Le buste monétaire des empereurs romains.
