[QUOTE="Tejas, post: 7792341, member: 84905"]This is RIC V, 219, rated Rare Mint: Rome Year: 278 I checked a book called "Rom und die Germanen - das Zeugnis der Münzen", by B. Overbeck, which deals with numismatic evidence for Roman victories over the Germanic people. The author shows only two reverse types for Antoniniani with Germanic victory reference, the common RIC 220-223 variants and the above rare RIC 219. Despite his title as Gothicus Maximus, Probus had no coins minted referring to a victory over the Goths. His various victories over Burgundians, Vandals, Alamanns and Franks, occurred on the territory of modern Germany and would have been referenced with VICTORIA GERMANICA. These victories were apparently not very decisive though. His successor Carus immediately had to deal with an attack of Alamanni when he became emperor.[/QUOTE]
