Probus, Summer 276 - September 282 A.D.
|Probus|, |Probus,| |Summer| |276| |-| |September| |282| |A.D.|, Forum attempts to list references from the most exact match to the least exact match. Cohen is rarely the first reference listed, but in this case it assigns a specific number to this type with this obverse legend and bust; RIC does not. Hunter could be listed first, but since it is specific even to the officina and not an exact match, it must be listed as a variation.
