“Our evidence would suggest, then, that the black African centurion Rogatianus who appears in War at the Edge of the World, himself a recent transfer to Britain, would probably not have been so unusual in the Roman army of the early 4th-century AD.”

Yea. But the ancient sources say what the ancient sources say. Some political correct writer can conclude with whatever he wants to please his readers. I put more faith in Appian and "Historia Augusta".
My point was what the sources say. To post the originale source would be unpractical.
