more Ammianus Marcellinus self-contradictions

[Nathan Ross]

it's appealing—unfortunately, I think it's also impossible.

A tribune of the scholae (Bainobaudes I) was ranked higher than a tribune of the auxilia palatini (Bainobaudes II). So unless Bainobaudes was chucked out of the scholae and reinstated at a lower rank in the auxilia (which you'd think Ammianus would have mentioned!) then these were surely different individuals.
