[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 4862507, member: 98035"]Probus was the last morally admirable emperor except perhaps Julian II, in that he cared more for the well-being of his country than for stuffing his coffers. His portraits and reverses are also fun to collect, and the market for his coins is quite strong. My "main" Probus [ATTACH=full]1174460[/ATTACH] Other ones I just ended up keeping Holed, but an incredibly styled facing quadriga, plus I'm assuming the hole's shape and position means it was used in antiquity as a decoration on something - just makes it even more cool!
