<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 8005664, member: 82549&quot;]Coins of Probus with left-facing busts are fairly common. They often show Probus holding a shield and a spear over his right shoulder. Left-facing consular busts are less common. Here&#039;s an nice example from my collection:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1388828[/ATTACH]</p><p><u><b>Probus </b></u></p><p><i>A.D. 276-282</i></p><p>AE (Billon) antininianus</p><p>Siscia mint, A.D. 277</p><p>RIC 632</p><p>Obv: IMP C M AVR PROBVS AVG</p><p>Rev: ADVEN-TVS PROBI AVG - Probus on horseback, riding left, raising right hand and holding scepter in left, horse treading on bound captive. (Notice the filled die error on the reverse - no V in AVG)</p><p>XXIB in exergue.</p><p><br /></p><p>The ADVENTVS reverse types usually commemorate an emperor&#039;s triumphant visit to a city.</p><p><br /></p><p>Show us your consular busts of Probus or other emperors, or any other unusual and interesting coins of Probus.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
