Herennius Etruscus was elevated to caesar in 250 --> "Herennius Etruscus was elevated to Caesar in 250, then further raised to augustus" because they're titles? Same in the body?
Maybe put "(
Balkan Mountains)" after "Haemus Mons" for clarity.

"Decius and Herennius Etruscus launched a counterattack in spring 251 and was initially successful.." This should be "were", not "was".
Done
"..are somewhat vague." No need for "somewhat".
Done
"After the news of his death reached Decius, Decius refused.." Reword to avoid repetition of "Decius".
Done
"..either from a plague or murder, [1][8]" Remove the space between the comma and the references.
Done
"..after which point Volusianus, Trebonianus Gallus' son.." No need for "point".
Done
Nice succinct article, although it did feel in places like details about father and then his successors was being used to pad out a short article.

Short but seems pretty comprehensive. I have a few comments:
"He was born in c. 227 AD" is unnecessary, as his approx year of birth is in the first sentence
Done
suggest "and was alsothen proclaimed emperor by the Roman Senate"
Done
suggest "Herennius Etruscus was killed in the Battle of Abritus the following year"
Done
say that the Battle of Battle of Nicopolis was in 250
Done
I acknowledge there are images of coins, but could you add a sentence about the coinage on which this chap was represented? Sellars' The Monetary System of the Romans has some info.
