It's not an elegant solution. :whistle:
It may be due to the time involed in these incidents. Bainobaudes fails with the escaping Laeti and is sent home for that. But the next paragraph, which describes bainobaudes' action against the islands, opens with the words'"at the same time".
No doubt the investigation which found bainobaudes having failed took some time, and the part in which he was sent home may have taken place after the raid on the island.
Which may 9speculating) also explain why he was present at Argentorate - he may have been pardoned due to his success later?.
Another alternative (besides indeed two people with the same name and function) would be a mistake for the name.
