The last Roman of any tangible consequence in the Orange Creek was a Romanized Berber named Flavius Silanus, otherwise known as Zilalsen, who led a hold-out regime in Equizetum from 703 to 717 AD. He effectively commanded the final remnants of the Byzantine legions still operating in Africa, and waged a rigorous guerilla campaign against the Oranics until his final defeat at the Battle of Murcona. He was variously described as a nominal provincial governor, a Byzantine client king, and even an imperial usurper.

Remember Justinian? Yeah, that guy completely destroyed North Africa. Following Justinian's death, however, imperial control of Africa and Egypt rapidly disintegrated, with Silanus representing the last ditch effort to continue any semblance of Roman rule in the region.

Xatem just lays there

And, just as an IRL fun fact:

Flavius isn't a praenomen/first name. It was a Roman nomen of the Flavia gens, and thus technically a Roman surname. The reason why a crap ton of later Romans had the name (Flavius Aetius, Flavius Stilicho, Flavius Arcadius, etc...) was mostly down to its prestige. A massive succession of emperors had the nomen, including the Constantinian, Theodosian, and Valentinianic dynasties, which made the name especially lucrative as status-marker. This caused the nomen to be adopted by so many individuals that had no way of legitimately descending from the Flavia gens.
