Italian wikipedia

I found this in the italian wikipedia, Barbazione but I don't know if it is the same article- some of the dates appear to be the same. It also has a picture which would be useful to use here. 68.231.151.161 03:21, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's the same topic. The picture, Commons:Image:155 Valentinianus I.jpg, is just a coin with Valentinian on it; it doesn't seem terribly relevant to this article. —An gr 20:07, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing as Barbatio is recorded in but one or two sources and was only a general, and our articles on Romans tend to have photos of important individuals from busts or coins, I think it is very unlikely we will ever have a representation of him. I don't think the image of someone else add particular value, though, so perhaps the best we could hope for is some sort of representation of one of the battles he fought in.
