While I am really not into finding Blacks on the African periphery as they have more importance to Euro/Asiatic development and not much to do with continental Africans(passing interest only),recent posts compelled me to make this thread. Folks such as these did went into Briton to pick-up tin they were sailors,do you know what sailors do when they hit any port? I know they bone every thing in sight so who ever was present in those Isle were have sex with those guys above and sex have a funny way of producing kids, One can argue about the exact shade he was but this man brought Africans Soldiers in Rome's armies to be stationed at Hadrian's wall It is often forgotten that Rome’s African provinces were some of its most important and it has been suggested that there may have been a black Roman Emperor (Septimus Severus). There are in fact several inscriptions found in Britain that mention the Emperor Septimus Severus. It is generally accepted that Septimus Severus was born in Numidia, also in North Africa and there is the possibility that the unit Numerus Maurorum Aurelianorum was brought to Britain around AD 193-211 during his reign. It was recently suggested that African DNA might be found to be present in the local populations near to Hadrian’s Wall, for instance Burgh-by-Sands. However, this would not conclusively show that the black Roman soldiers on the wall intermarried with the local population because of the problem of admixture. Admixture is a process whereby the DNA of a population becomes diluted over time and it cannot be shown at what period in time that dilution took place. A little Hollywood but you get the picture. http://www.blackpresence.co.uk/2010/09/the-archaeology-of-black-britain/ http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=002630;p=1#000024 go here^ and below http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/01/070124072328.htm
