Martial used the phrase woolly hair "like a Moor". What does it matter if the person he was talking about wasn't a Moor. :p No one above metioned the Maurusioi as a Negro- white cross. Keep hope alive though! lol! [/qb][/QUOTE]I'm not sure what you mean "no one above mentioned" I quoted from Snowden so he mentioned it. http://books.google.com/books?id=lufna2PxouAC&pg=PA282&lpg=PA282&dq=%22If+in+this+case+Martial+is+not+using+the+word+Maurus+ -Frank Snowden "Black Studies; The Negro In Ancient Greece" p 282 __________________________________________ read the section "Maurus and Indus" beginning on page 273 [/qb][/QUOTE]I am not impressed with the use by Eurowacks of speculations of Snowden - as if there were not many ancient Europeans who like Platus considered the Mauri a synonym for Nigri or "black" and "Ethiopians".
