Tenagino Probus : ウィキペディア英語版 | Tenagino Probus
Tenagino Probus was a Roman soldier and procuratorial official whose career reached its peak at the end of the sixth decade of the third century AD (c. 255-260). A poverty of primary sources means that nothing is known for certain of his origins or early career. However, in later years he served successively as ''Praeses'' (governor) of the province of ''Numidia'' (i.e. ''Praeses Numidiae'') and of Egypt, (i.e. ''Praefectus Aegypti''). These were both very senior procuratorial offices, the latter in particular traditionally considered one of the pinnacles of an equestrian career. In these roles he exercised military skills in addition to administrative ones; as ''Praefectus Aegypti'' he led military operations outside his province. He died resisting the invasion of Egypt by the forces of Zenobia of ''Palmyra'' in the troubled ''inter-regnum'' between Emperors Claudius II and Aurelian. Despite the limited availability of information about Probus, the fact that he was: (i) entrusted with the government of two of the Empire's most economically and strategically significant provinces; and (ii) given important military command outside his province (at least during his time as ''Praefectus Aegypti'') indicates that he had the reputation of a highly competent Imperial functionary. His known appointments suggest that both Emperor Gallienus and Gallienus' successor Claudius II held him in high regard. Probus was likely among the relatively small group of professional soldiers who benefited from the opening up of provincial governorships and senior military commands, which were previously reserved for senators. == Primary Sources ==
