His victories helped lay the foundation for the more permanent reforms introduced by Diocletian only a few years later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAncient writers also credit Probus with encouraging agriculture alongside military service. During periods of peace, soldiers reportedly planted vineyards, drained marshes, repaired roads, and restored farmland throughout provinces such as Gaul and Germania.
