  The coin wiki source cites several historians from the 1500/1600s and one from about 1200: Strada, Beauvais, and Tristan. See "Sources" for more details.
  
  === I messed this record up - her work likely needs to be redone ===
  I thought this was the wife of Marcus Aurelius Probus Augustus as many people also did. But it was based on a single source that was a genealogical database and there were no primary sources attached.
  
  After researching heavily it is clear Faustina Furia is not the wife of Emperor Probus.
  
  The best records we have indicate his wife's name was Procla or Julia Procla, but nothing is confirmed.
  
  This record I changed the name of and merged with duplicates and it is now problematic.
  
  This person's work probably needs to be redone to ensure it was done with the correct name because she is not "Wife Marcus Aurelius Probus" because she was not the wife of Emperor Probus. Many of her ordinances that are recorded were done as such before I changed and merged records and can't figure out how to undo.
  
  I have created a new record for the wife of Probus and began entering what are better attested names for their descendants and am working on it until I reach a duplicate record of a person that is in the system. The pedigree I have comes from a history book:

   Note: Vincent Of Beauvais, (born c. 1190, Beauvais?, Fr.—died 1264, Paris), French scholar and encyclopaedist whose Speculum majus (“Great Mirror”) was probably the greatest European encyclopaedia up to the 18th century. He says regarding Emperor Probus and his wife, "By his wife PROCLA, Probus had several children, whose names are not known. All that is certain is that they established themselves in the city of Rome."
   Page: It is the best we have attesting her name.

   Note: This volume describes the wives of 12 ceasars, one of which is Probus. He cites the other older historians claiming her name is Procla, but also notes we don't have a Roman contemporary record of that name. It also states that Probus had a sister named Claudia, presumably citing the same sources.

   Note: Proba Maecia Orfita was a daughter of Furia Gordiana and Marcus Maecius Orfitus. These names are more correctly represented in the family names making her almost certainly not the Proba daugher of Emperor Probus. https://www.geni.com/people/Furia-Gordiana/6000000001310524077?through=6000000003828287488

   Note: Probus' minted coins are some of the most prolific surviving Roman coinage. As such his era of Roman money has been heavily collected and studied. This wiki entry describes Probus' life and in the end discusses his wife briefly because there is a rare bronze coin minted with Probus and his wife on it. Simply referred to as "Probus and wife" or "Probus et Uxor." Her name according to early modern historians (1500/1600 and 1200) Strada, Beauvais, and Tristan, was Procla. One of them adds Julia Procla, but it is unclear where he got "Julia" from. https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Probus
