The pictures on this thread are mostly from the brothels and villas of Pompeii.
Pompeii was a city destroyed by a volcano and volcanic ash about 2000 years ago. Though the ash often PRESERVED the artwork, it did NOT preserve the artwork in GOOD condition.
The originals looked more like THIS: (The best preserved ones that is).
THEREFORE WHEN YOU SEE ONE LIKE THIS - IT HAS BEEN "REPAINTED" OR IS A "COPY".
SAME HERE!
As to the features of the people:
Come-on everybody - the Albinos have been making fake artwork of themselves to rewrite history in their image for hundreds of years. What's new?

reality check, it's the exact same painting except one is poor quality photo/poor quality print reproduction.
If you look at various books some have cheap unsharp, color off reproductions and more expensive books have sharper more accurate color. Some of the images on the internet are not even from books, they are amateur photography. Predictably Mike and Iron actually prefer photos or reproductions in the worst condition. The reason is that it's harder to see what's going on. That way they can project in their fantasies i.e. fucking white women and leaving the sisaths on the side thing. A blurred face or a broken off nose is an asset. (ass-et)
The ceramic Mosaics often stay in better condition as per color and sharpness, except for tiles that fall out
This is Alexander the Great the Muur, a detail of the Alexander the Great mosaic House of the Faun, Pompeii. The mosaic is 19 feet long
frorm the same mosaic the Muur Persian king Darius,
Mike, before you squawk the above mosaics are Muur approved by Ironed, both Alexander and Darius were Muurs ( along with just about anybody in history) and this si simply showing their Muuritude, obviously of an Ethiopic persuasion

If something becomes dirty after hundreds of years, often with additional soot in the air from church candles and if restorers carefully clean the dirt off art certain black people get upset because they were busy imagining they were Europeans and denying their Africaness. Look at the aboive painting. The left half of it hasn't been cleaned yet. -and this Ironedlion is convinced is a black person.
that's not rasta

The animated image of Il Moro seen here is the inspired, unique projection of a simple heraldic device already in long use by elite families and civic authorities in medieval and Renaissance Europe.
Displayed on innumerable flags and coats of arms, this was the silhouetted head of a moor, understood to be a black man, wearing a white headband.
The rationale for its use varied from a pun on a family name (such as Morese equals moor) to an evocation of universal authority.
Here, this durable image has been given three-dimensional form, coming to life as the living embodiment of an actual head of state.
Tales of Ethiopia as a mythical land at the farthest edges of the earth are recorded in some of the earliest Greek literature of the eighth century B.C., including the epic poems of Homer. Greek gods and heroes, like Menelaos, were believed to have visited this place on the fringes of the known world. However, long before Homer, the seafaring civilization of Bronze Age Crete, known today as Minoan, established trade connections with Egypt. The Minoans may have first come into contact with Africans at Thebes, during the periodic bearing of tribute to the pharaoh. In fact, paintings in the tomb of Rekhmire, dated to the fourteenth century B.C., depict African and Aegean peoples, most likely Nubians and Minoans. However, with the collapse of the Minoan and Mycenaean palaces at the end of the Late Bronze Age, trade connections with Egypt and the Near East were severed as Greece entered a period of impoverishment and limited contact.
During the eighth and seventh centuries B.C., the Greeks renewed contacts with the northern periphery of Africa. They established settlements and trading posts along the Nile River and at Cyrene on the northern coast of Africa. Already at Naukratis, the earliest and most important of the trading posts in Africa, Greeks were certainly in contact with Africans. It is likely that images of Africans, if not Africans themselves, began to reappear in the Aegean. In the seventh and early sixth centuries B.C., Greek mercenaries from Ionia and Caria served under the Egyptian pharaohs Psametikus I and II.
All black Africans were known as Ethiopians to the ancient Greeks, as the fifth-century B.C. historian Herodotus tells us, and their iconography was narrowly defined by Greek artists in the Archaic (ca. 700–480 B.C.) and Classical (ca. 480–323 B.C.) periods, black skin color being the primary identifying physical characteristic. It is recorded that Ethiopians were among King Xerxes' troops when Persia invaded Greece in 480 B.C. Thus, the Greeks would have come into contact with large numbers of Africans at this time. Nonetheless, most ancient Greeks had only a vague understanding of African geography. They believed that the land of the Ethiopians was located south of Egypt. In Greek mythology, the pygmies were the African race that lived furthest south on the fringes of the known world, where they engaged in mythic battles with cranes (26.49).
Ethiopians were considered exotic to the ancient Greeks and their features contrasted markedly with the Greeks' own well-established perception of themselves. The black glaze central to Athenian vase painting was ideally suited for representing black skin, a consistent feature used to describe Ethiopians in ancient Greek literature as well. Ethiopians were featured in the tragic plays of Aeschylus, Sophokles, and Euripides; and preserved comic masks, as well as a number of vase paintings from this period, indicate that Ethiopians were also often cast in Greek comedies.
Well into the fourth century B.C., Ethiopians were regularly featured in Greek vase painting, especially on the highly decorative red-figure vases produced by the Greek colonies in southern Italy (50.11.4). One type shows an Ethiopian being attacked by a crocodile, most likely an allusion to Egypt and the Nile River. Depictions of Ethiopians in scenes of everyday life are rare at this time, although one tomb painting from a Greek cemetery near Paestum in southern Italy shows an Ethiopian and a Greek in a boxing competition.
With the establishment of the Ptolemaic dynasty and Macedonian rule in Egypt, after the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C., came an increased knowledge of Nubia (in modern Sudan), the neighboring kingdom along the lower Nile ruled by kings who resided in the capital cities of Napata and later Meroe. Cosmopolitan metropolises, including Alexandria in the Nile Delta, became centers where significant Greek and African populations lived together.
During the Hellenistic period (ca. 323–31 B.C.), the repertoire of African imagery in Greek art expanded greatly. While scenes related to Ethiopians in mythology became less common, many more types occurred that suggest they constituted a larger minority element in the population of the Hellenistic world than the preceding period (18.145.10). Depictions of Ethiopians as athletes and entertainers are suggestive of some of the occupations they held. Africans also served as slaves in ancient Greece (74.51.2263), together with both Greeks and other non-Greek peoples who were enslaved during wartime and through piracy. However, scholars continue to debate whether or not the ancient Greeks viewed black Africans with racial prejudice.
Large-scale portraits of Ethiopians made by Greek artists appear for the first time in the Hellenistic period and high-quality works, such as images on gold jewelry and fine bronze statuettes, are tangible evidence of the integration of Africans into various levels of Greek society.
