 Roman Emperors - DIR probus
The writer of the Vita Probi in the Historia Augusta indicates that in 280 A.D. Proculus revolted in the vicinity of the city of Lugdunum, which had been severely dealt with by Aurelian and, for reasons not given, spurred on by this fear, had adopted a hostile attitude towards Probus.
Proculus apparently had some connections to the Franks and he had hoped to rally them to his cause.
"Proculus (8a)," col. 75-76; Henze, RE, 2.2, col.2522; although Kienast accepts the outline of events spelled out in the SHA, he rightly believes that many of the details included about Proculus' life should be considered dubious (Römische Kaisertabelle, 252-253); Barnes rejects all the details of Proculus' career contained in the SHA (Phoenix, 26 [1972], 168).

 The Baldwin Project: Nero by Jacob Abbott
Proculus was one of the men who had been employed by Nero in his attempts to assassinate Agrippina his mother, and for his services on that occasion had been promoted to the command of a certain number of ships, a number containing in all one thousand men.
She talked with Proculus about his wrongs, and the injuries which he suffered from Nero's ingratitude and neglect, until she [237] fancied that he was in a state of mind which would prepare him to join in the plans of the conspirators, and then she cautiously unfolded them to him.
Proculus listened with great apparent interest to Epicharis's communication, and pretended to enter very cordially into the plan of the conspiracy; but as soon as the interview was ended he immediately left Misenum, and proceeded immediately to Rome, where he divulged the whole design to Nero.

 Proculus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Proculus was an experienced soldier and when he was asked by the people of Lugdunum, who feared emperor Probus, to take the purple, he accepted.
After failing to find support by the Franks, he was betrayed by them and handed over to Probus, who had him killed.
There exists a letter from Proculus (probably fictitious but quite interesting), that is also mentioned by Gibbon:

All the specta- tors, but especially those of the lower orders, appeared now personally participating in the triumph of their countryman; and some, bolder than the rest, called out that he should be re- leased.
But Proculus, with admirable address, received his adversary's next stroke upon his temporary shield, and rushing forward at the same time, he grappled on him with the force and energy of despair.
Caligula rose to depart, but before he quitted the scene, as if to leave a terrible example of his power and bar- barity, he commanded that Proculus should be disarmed and thrown to the wild beasts in the caverns of the amphitheater.

§ 1, Urseius is represented as quoting Proculus, for the latter in­terpretation would require us to suppose that each cited the other, and it is not thought likely that a senior and more distinguished jurist would cite or comment upon a junior contemporary.
There is less improbability that Cassius should have written upon Urseius than that Pro­culus should have done so, for Cassius was probably younger than Proculus, and, though older than Urseius, he may have thought fit to criticise the writings of a young follower of the opposite school.
It is singular that the meaning of the word apud in such connection, if it be not used in different meanings,—important though it appears to be at first view, for the sake of legal biography and chronology, to determine what that meaning is,— is still a matter of undecided controversy.

 Magisches Rätisches Dreieck - Magico Triangolo Retico - Magical Rhetical Triangle
The church of St. Proculus was constructed in the first half of the 7th century as a Germanic wooden church, in the 12th century a Romanesque tower was added to the building.
The church became famous because of the pre-Carolingian frescoes discovered in 1923 dating from the 7th/8th century which are still known as the oldest in the entire German speaking language area.
The most interesting and famous piece of the church may be the portrayal of St. Proculus, sitting on a swing during his fleet from Verona, therefore known as the "Schaukler - swinger" on the Southern wall.

Note: Proculus does not have any coins listed in RIC V, Part II, but is discussed as a co-usurper in Gaul with Bonosus.
On page 579 of RIC, it is noted that 'of Proculus, no genuine coin is known' and the coins of Bonosus 'deserve consideration'.
Vagi goes on to note the coinage of Proculus was unknown until very recently and the single known specimen is accepted by many numismatists as genuine, where the coinage of Bonosus is generally dismissed as altered or are misdescribed "barbarous radiates".

The reign of Probus was mainly spent in successful wars by which he re-established the security of all the frontiers, the most important of these operations being directed to clearing Gaul of the Germans.
Probus had also put down three usurpers, Saturninus, Proculus and Bonosus.
One of his principles was never to allow the soldiers to be idle, and to employ them in time of peace on useful works, such as the planting of vineyards in Gaul, Pannonia and other districts.

 Interactive Dig Sagalassos: Apollo Klarios Report 3   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The building inscription from this renovation mentions that the shrine then also served the cult of the Imperial family and that a local family, who had received Roman citizenship under Vespasian, paid for it.
As the inscription also mentioned the governor of Asia, Proculus, and as Sagalassos was then part of that province, the structure's restoration, possibly after earthquake damage, could be dated to the reign of Trajan, and more precisely to the year A.D. 103-104, when Proculus was governor.
When the shrine eventually was turned into a basilica, the cella blocks were reused for the outside walls of the church and the peristasis was reused inside for the colonnades of the basilica, dividing the nave from the side aisles.

 Caligula (1979)
Caligula is the story of the infamous Roman Emperor who, if this movie is to be believed, was probably the worst boss in the history of bosses.
Later on, he has Proculus arrested and strung up, so he can kill him slowly with stabs and slashes, cutting off his penis and feeding it to his dogs, and sending his testicles out to his wife.
While he was still able to speak, Proculus not unreasonably asks what his crime was - Caligula says that he is a good soldier and an honest man, which makes him a bad Roman.

Although immediately resistant to the Atlantean team's suggestion that refugees from the Wraith also be granted sanctuary on Proculus, she agrees to go to Atlantis to learn more.
Sensing that the Wraith are attacking Proculus in her absence, she resumes ascended form (clearly not restricted from moving between the two like Orlin) and returns home.

Their situation is reminiscent both of an equine skeleton in entranceway 03 of the Casa di Julius Polybius, which seems to have previously been on the street, and the skeletons in the Casa del Sacerdos Amandus, who, it was argued, had been the occupants of that house.
The skeletons might indicate that the house was occupied, but as the boy seems to have been carrying his possessions or provisions, they had probably been refugees sheltering or trying to escape through the upper floor when they were killed.

And Proculus, a man of note, took oath that he saw Romulus caught up into heaven in his arms and vestments, and heard him, as he ascended, cry out that they should hereafter style him by the name of Quirinus."
However, even on this great occasion there were, I believe, a few dissentients who secretly maintained that the king had been torn to pieces by the senators.
The loss of the king had left the people in an uneasy mood and suspicious of the senators, and Proculus, aware of the prevalent temper, conceived the shrewd idea of addressing the Assembly.
