Probus’s six-year reign is impressively long, given that Probus delivered Gaul from the ravages of the Germans, pursued them across the Rhine, and everywhere defeated them. His operating theory was that soldiers should never be idle, even in times of peace, and employed them in various useful works such as building roads and canals in Egypt, and planting vineyards in Gaul.

Marcus Aurelius Probus (/ˈprbəs/; 230–235 – September 282) was Roman emperor from 276 to 282. Probus was an active and successful general as well as a conscientious administrator, and in his reign of six years he secured prosperity for the inner provinces while withstanding repeated invasions of barbarian tribes on almost every sector of the frontier.[6]

After repelling the foreign enemies of the empire, Probus was forced to handle several internal revolts but demonstrated leniency and moderation to the vanquished wherever possible.[7] Despite the military basis of his power, he presented himself as a constitutional monarch who respected the authority of the Roman Senate.[8]
