Umm, werent the romans the invaders? Or are they referring to germanics as barbarians for some reason here? Weird tag line if its supposed to be Arthurian and not Roman.
It's not history - it's rightwing storytelling so anything goes.
What they're probably doing is simplifying 'Romano-British' into just Romans. Some of the medieval sources we have that treat Arthur as a real guy (he probably wasn't, for the record) specifically place him in the late 400s-early 500s. Historia Brittonum, specifically.
While Rome had abandoned the island at that point, the syncretic Romano-British culture still survived, and it is they that were subject to the Anglo-Saxon invasion.
If they're trying to be accurate to either the legends or history, the "civilized" people would be the post-Roman Romano-British and the barbarians would be the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes.
