more Ammianus Marcellinus self-contradictions
#4
The book is Roger Tomlin's doctoral thesis. It is not available via the British Library EthOS website, so unless you have access to the Bodleian Library in Oxford you will probably have difficulty in getting a sight of it.

Ammianus does differentiate to some extent. Admittedly, in the passage relating to the incident with the Laeti he only refers to Bainobaudes as tribunus but in Amm. 14.11.14 he says that he is tribunus scutariorum, while in the passages relating to the crossing of the Rhine and the battle of Strasbourg he quite specifically calls him tribunus Cornutorum.
