[/QUOTE]1) There are many of these balsarium containers some depicting Africans others Greco-latin types I'm not sure how they determined slave but it probably pertains to the all of these balsariums, the ones that depict Africans 2) my bad, translation corrected "his" -fixed not sure if link stayed working so I updated >> BnF [URL=http://medaillesetantiques.bnf.fr/ws/catalogue/app/collection/record/1277?vc=ePkH4LF7w6yelGA1iDEw7uEeQk6ORuamoCIGKZShiT3lUcPMw50lGZn5BZmpedBak8j0pY8niAGUDDps]LINK[/URL] ______________________________ One Third African questioned this source [QUOTE]Originally posted by One Third African: [qb] Sorta off-topic, but [URL=https://www.pinterest.com.mx/pin/498914464955577252/]this sculpture on display at the Museum of Rabat in Morocco[/URL] [i]supposedly[/i] represents an ancient Numidian.

Add a photo to show how it went Add photo Amina Bari Amina Bari saved to MELANO-MEDITERRANEAN Bronze head of a Numidian man, bearing traces of dark brown pigment on one eyelid and on the lips. He wears an ancient Egyptian/Kushite short coiled hairstyle. Volubilis, Roman Mauretania. 200BC. Museum of Rabat, Morocco.[/i] ______________________ ^^ this is pinterest It seems like the person who made this caption is assuming it's a Numidian must simultaneously wearing a "Nubian" hairstyle It reminds me of a post Tukular had I think in this thread. I'm not sure if he deleted it the Bardo herm head, I did a thread on it http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=013013 "Crown pillar-shaped head of a man from probably Western Sudan, at the Bardo Museum. Unknown origin or dating (Baths of Antoninus, Roman Carthage)" (this was the wiki caption) but when he made the post on it he called it a Numidian. Read the page from Blacks in Antiquity: Ethiopians in the Greco-Roman Experience, p 142 Snowden calls it an Ethiopian and he says it in context of similar looking Roman art and the Romans often refer to Ethiopians in their texts I would not assume that the bronze Balsarium or Bardo herm are Numidians because the items were found in North Africa and resembles the hair styles of Numidians on Trajan's Column or that all the mosaics in Roman Africa represent berbers We know the Romans had about 20% slaves in many of their settlements, slaves of different ethnicity but I don't know if that bronze balsarium depicts a slave In my opinion the bronze balsarium above and the black stone herm from Bardo look like Africans but one cannot assume they are North Africans just because the piece was found or made in North Africa and that this hairstyle is particular only to Mauretania [/QB][/QUOTE]
