Augustalis

As heirs to the Irish monastic tradition, Columbanus and his monks used a version of Bishop Augustalis 's 84-year computus for determining the date of Easter ( Quartodecimanism ), whereas the Franks had adopted the Victorian cycle of 532 years.

The prestige governorships of Africa and Asia remained with the title proconsul, and the special right to refer matters directly to the Emperor; the praefectus augustalis in Alexandria and the comes Orientis in Antioch also retained special titles.
