 Nothing else is known of Romanus' life beyond these facts.The medieval writer Bede is the main source of information, as Romanus is mentioned twice in the "Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum"; the first time in connection with his consecration, where Bede says that Justus "consecrated Romanus as Bishop of Rochester in his place".The second mention concerns Romanus' death after Paulinus had left Northumbria.
