Is there any evidence at all for a British presence in Africa in 410, the year that Pelagius came to Carthage following the sack of Rome?

Hmm… can't think of anything off top of my head, but will look :) Definitely evidence from preceding centuries, and looks like metal >

My question: how much of a rarity would Pelagius have been in Rome/Africa/the Levant as a Briton moving in high society? Can we know?

Yes, that's what prompted me to wonder whether it was a stereotype. Was Pelagius having to cope with that kind of mockery as a Briton?

Potentially so, seems to have been partly used against him. Yet, at same, other Britons on continent in 5th–6thC happy to identify as such…

Britonculus was the term used in a letter home from H's wall. So a bit of a put down.
