Interesting fact
The Denarius - Probus (VICTORIA GERM) coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Probus (276-282 AD), who was known for his military campaigns and agricultural reforms. One of the notable features of this coin is the use of the Latin phrase "VICTORIA GERM" on the reverse side, which translates to "Germanic Victory." This phrase was added to commemorate Probus' victories over the Germanic tribes in Gaul and Germany. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the Roman Empire's desire to promote a sense of unity and strength under Probus' leadership.
