"Nikephoros was killed in the battle, the second Roman emperor to suffer this fate since Valens in the Battle of Adrianople (August 9, 378)."
Does this mean to say that Valens was the only other emperor to die in battle? What about Decius and the Battle of Abrittus? 71.87.192.36 19:57, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It should be noted that Decius died more than 100 year before Valens. The sentence referred to above is explicit in the use of the word, since. Several Roman emperors died in battle actually, but I am uncertain of the chronology. Stevenmitchell (talk) 09:10, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know if this article was originally taken from a translation in a different-language Wikipedia, and that is the reason for its clumsy wording, but it needs to be rewritten almost in its entirety. It is currently too awkward to read. Stevenmitchell (talk) 09:13, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
