The article proposes a 4th mint producing coins for Probus in the East and separates these coins from issues of Antioch and Tripolis which they resemble. Further it proposes that this mint was set up to provide coinage needed to support military operations by Probus in the area against a usurper who was Saturninus.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
