Now for something a little (completely) different; I'll take this one on. Courcelles (talk) 21:03, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Should "by his own soldiers" be "by their own soldiers"?
Done
" 230 AD to Roman Emperor Trebonianus Gallus." Add the word "future", this makes it sound like Gallus was emperor in 230.
Done
"[3][1][4][5]" Citations go in numerical order, and consider whether we really need all four for a relatively simple sentence?

Done

"which contemporary historians decried as "shameful, with the Goths, promising them tribute if the Goths abstained from raiding them." We need closing quotation marks somewhere here.
Done
"In order to improve the opinion of the people." Source for the analysis?
The source here is Adkins and Adkins. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 09:31, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"He then elevated Volusianus to caesar in about July 251."; you explain Augustus in parentheticals, so explain Caesar the same way?
Done
"[7][1][14][15][16][6]" Same as the above on the citation order, and this time really feels like excessive?
Done
Numismatics section looks good, though were other coins other than the Aureus struck with his image on them?
Probably not. Emperors largely used Aurei to proclaim their authority and legitimacy, especially during Crisis of the Third Century, so usually they only minted some Aurei before they keeled over. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 09:31, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
