In traditional Roman religion , Roma was a
female deity who personified the city of Rome and more broadly, the Roman state.
Her image appears on the base of the column of Antoninus Pius . Roma, formerly
queen of almost the whole earth.

Probus (Latin: Marcus Aurelius Probus
Augustus; c. 19 August 232 - September/October 282), was Roman Emperor from 276
to 282.



During his reign, the Rhine and Danube frontier was strengthened after
successful wars against several Germanic tribes such as the Goths, Alamanni,
Longiones, Franks, Burgundians, and Vandals. The Agri Decumates and much of the
Limes Germanicus in Germania Superior were officially abandoned during his
reign, with the Romans withdrawing to the Rhine and Danube rivers.



Born in 232 in Sirmium (modern day Sremska Mitrovica), Pannonia Inferior, the
son of Dalmatius.Probus was a leading general under Aurelian. He was proclaimed
Emperor on the death of Tacitus by his troops. Although he tried to restore
power to Rome by building many public work projects, he was murdered by some
mutinous troops who were enraged by having to work on these projects instead of
doing military duty.
