Marcus Aurelius Probus (* August 19, 232, d 282)
Probus for short, was Roman Emperor from 276 - 282. After the death of Emperor Tacitus, he was proclaimed Emperor. He tried to continue the consolidation work begun by Aurelian and to secure the borders, among other things, through settlement projects. In Rome he completed the construction of the Aurelian Walls and largely restored peace. Through decrees he promoted agriculture and especially viticulture north of the Alps. Therefore he is considered by some to be the one who introduced viticulture to the Moselle, for example. In September 282 he was murdered by dissatisfied legionnaires shortly before setting out on a campaign against the Persians. Two of his brothers were said to be Christian bishops of Constantinople.

Lutius Domitius Aurelianus (b. September 9, 214 in Moesia or Sirmium; t 275 at Byzantium)
Aurelian for short, was Roman Emperor from 270-275. Coming from a humble background, he earned military merit and was proclaimed emperor by the troops in 270. Immediately after taking office, he found himself forced to continue a whole series of conflicts from the reign of his predecessor. He defeated the Germans in several campaigns, put down uprisings and unified the empire. With the new financial and monetary policy, he ended the "imperial crisis of the 3rd century." He surrounded Rome with a wall that can still be seen today. Aurelian introduced December 25 as the birthday of the sun god as a public holiday, laying the foundation for our celebration of Christmas. Aurelian's death was abrupt and unexpected when he was stabbed in the midst of planning his campaign in Mesopotamia. Source: text information board
