[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ish Gebor: [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.

Where is the evidence his father was black? Can we get some real blacks in here? there were about 70 Roman Emperors, what else you got? [/QB][/QUOTE]
