Honorius To Britain: Look To Your Own Defences

It seems the revision of Zosimus and the whole textual record on the Roman departure from Britain (the Brittia/Bruttia alternative included) is a currently ongoing event.

 

In any case, the available archaeological evidence (negative evidence, in fact) for the abrupt disappearance of the Roman civil and military administration from Britannia at the early V century (like the absence of new coins after 402 or the lack of references to the II, VI or XX Legions) seems to be already overwhelming and undeniable.
