>> you would be able to find similar letters begging for Romes intervention during Romes reign.

which ones specifically then?

and more importantly, its not just this letter, as i mentioned above the whole gildas’ de excidio goes explaining in quite detail the sudden and devastating effect of the collapse of roman authority in britain.

do you have any evidence to back up your insistence that majority of the population went on like business as usual?



Your examples don't portray someone aware of the collapse of a civilization it portrays someone aware of the lack of roman authority. That is in no shape or form the same.

And no I don't have any examples handy that I can point to right now, but I am sure there are plenty if you dig a little.
