more Ammianus Marcellinus self-contradictions
#3
Researching further, I see in a Wiki note that assumes it's one guy, not two Bainobaudes, that his promotion from Tribune of the Scutarii and restoration to service as Tribune of the Cornuti is recorded in a book about the Emperor Valentinian by one Prof. Tomlin of Oxford, 1973 I can't source a copy, does anybody have that around?
It's unusual, if you're right, for AM not to distinguish between the two men, e.g. when he has two men named Florentius in the frame, he makes it clear that one is Florentius, the praetorian prefect (Bk 16) and the other is Florentius, son of Nigrinianus (Bk 15.)
You may be right.
