more Ammianus Marcellinus self-contradictions
#6
I hesitate to challenge a scholar such as Roger Tomlin but, as you suggested in the OP, it seems strange, if there were only one Baidobaudes, that he should be reinstated so quickly, especially when it appears that Valentinian was not reinstated at the same time. It used to be possible for a local library to borrow theses from the British Library on microfilm for consultation within the library. I have asked my local library to try to get this one. If they are successful, I will study the relevant part and let you know Tomlin's reasoning.
