Years: 282 - 282
April
Probus has spent his six-year reign thus far in continual frontier warfare against hostile tribes on the Rhine and Danube, complicated by insurrections in Britain, Gaul, and the East.
His policy of allowing outside tribes to settle within the empire will prove dangerous.
Fourth-century writers attest to his intense interest in agriculture: when not campaigning against barbarians or rebels, Probus has put the soldiers to work, making them drain land, erect buildings and defenses, build bridges, and even plant vineyards in Gaul, Spain, and Britain.
Consequently, army moral is at a low point in the spring of 282, when Probus sets out for Sirmium to prepare a campaign against the Persians.
