Prose Suggestions

Please note that all of these are suggestions, and can be implemented or ignored at your discretion.

• Flavius Arinthaeus (died AD 378) was a Roman soldier suggest:

  Flavius Arinthaeus (died AD 378) was a Roman officer

Done.

• He was one of the clique of senior officers who elected Jovian to the throne, and may have played a similar role in the election of Valentinian. suggest:

  He was part of a faction of senior officers who elected Jovian to the throne, and may have played a similar role in the election of Valentinian.

Not done. It wasn't a faction. Happy to change "clique", but I can't think of an alternate, accurate word or phrase.

• He died in 378 while occupying one of the two most senior military positions of the Eastern Roman Empire. suggest:

  He died in 378 while serving as Magister peditum, one of the two most senior military positions of the Eastern Roman Empire.

• where Arinthaeus was instrumental in securing a victory against the enemy in difficult circumstances are said difficulties known, or do sources merely state that it was difficult?

Just that they were difficult. Unfortunately.

• He was wounded in a minor skirmish and died suggest:

  Julian was wounded in a minor skirmish and died

Done.

• Valens accused Traianus of cowardice, but thanks to the support of the Magistri Militum Arinthaeus and Magister Equitum Victor suggest:

  Valens accused Traianus of cowardice, but thanks to the support of Arinthaeus and the Magister Equitum Victor

Done.

  As a side note, would you consider reviewing my FAC, Tetricus I, if you have time? Thanks! -- Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 15:36, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

@Iazyges: You have a good eye for my poor phraseology. Thank you. Tetricus, of course. Gog the Mild (talk) 20:17, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
