[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] Again for the thick headed the topic of this thread is not: "The Cosmopolitanism of Rome and Greece" or "African admixture in ancient Greece and Italy" or "Berber mercenaries in the Roman Army" The topic is "Black Romans and Greeks" therefore if you post a a picture of of an ancient sculpture or painting the person should be Black. It's that simple [/qb][/QUOTE] :D @ "Real expert". Rome was a cosmopolitan society! :D [IMG]http://assets.fightland.com/content-images/contentimage/59652/munera-the-blood-sports-of-ancient-rome-lead.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE]Our knowledge of Black people present in Britain in early times is scanty. [b]However, studies by scholars, archaeologists and historians have pieced together evidence about the lives of Black Romans.[/b] One historian, Anthony Birley, in his work The African Emperor: Septimius Severus, explains that between AD 193 and 211 the Roman empire embraced a multicultural mix of peoples from Syria, Germany, Britain, Spain and Africa. Eight African men had positions of command in the northern Roman legions, and others held high rank as equestrian officers. [...] During his time in office, Septimius legalised marriage during military service. [b]There is no evidence to suggest that all the Roman legionaries returned home upon their discharge from military service, so it is possible that some Black Romans married, had children, and remained in Britain after their tour of duty. [/b] Perhaps they might be considered to be Britain's first diaspora people - from North Africa.
