Constantine is the first prince of any age who bound together such a garland as this with the bond of peace, and presented it to his Saviour as a thank-offering for the victories he had obtained over every foe, thus exhibiting in our own times a similitude of the apostolic company.

 HISTORY OF BRITAIN, 407-597, by Fabio P. Barbieri
That Rome deprived Britain of both, means that the island was left in a position of radical religious dependency on the Roman Mediterranean lands.
The Roman claim to the wealth of Britain, though only a part of their royal claim to the island, was fundamental, and, in Gildas, came first - at the beginning of their period of full power.
In my view, the journey to Britain sounds perfectly credible, save for the final miracle - which takes place in a North African port - of the transformation of British tin into silver, which might well depend on a simple misunderstanding of a statement that silver was paid for tin.

 Early Vandal (DBA II/66)
Unable to expel the barbarian invader, facing Constantine III's revolt in Britain, and anxious to preserve Italy and the Mediterranean provinces from barbarian incursion, Rome offered the Siling Vandals "hospitalitas" status as "guests" of the Gallo-Roman landowners in northwestern Gaul, who were forced to turn over 2/3s of their crops to the occupying Vandals.
Whether compelled by the arrival of Constantine's British army, pressed by the Franks, or just anxious for new lands to pillage, the Vandals, Alans and Suebi regrouped and migrated south through Gaul, crossing the Pyrenees into Spain by 409 AD.
At this time, Roman forces in Spain had declared for Constantine, and when he proved unable to assist them against the invaders, they raised the equally ineffectual Maximus to the purple.
