=== Post-Roman Britain === In his ''[[Vita Germani]]'', a [[hagiography]] of [[Germanus of Auxerre|St. Germanus of Auxerre]], [[Constantius of Lyon]] writes that during his visit to Britain in AD 429, Germanus miraculously healed the blind daughter of "a man with tribunician power" (''vir tribunicae potestatis''). Being that the Roman Empire had withdrawn from Britain in AD 410, the use of this term may imply a continuation of some form of local Roman political system. There exists the possibility that this tribune had commanded a unit of the Roman army which had disbanded after the break with Rome, and was now occupying a more locally-granted appointment to help manage his city's defences.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kessler |first=P.
