Were there many black roman citizens ?
>>1153861
It's possible.
>>1153861
Boi don u know WE FOUNDED urope and shiet
Scipio AFRICANUS was black
>>1153861
No.
There were Roman citizens of practically every race from Europe, North Africa, The Levant and Eurasia
>>1153892
Blacks literally never lived in any of those places.
>>1153895
>Who are the Aksum or Nubians
>>1153897
>Aksum
>Nubia
Not Europe
Not Mediterranean
Not North Africa
Not Eurasia
>>1153897
>Axum and Nubia
>Located in Europe, North Africa, The Levant and Eurasia
Am i the only one found that Scipio looks like Phil Collins ?
>>1153897
Rome never controlled Axum...
>>1153906
Looks more like Mussolini desu senpai
>>1153915
>Nubians in Egypt
How? They didn't control Egypt anymore
>Axum
Look at where Ethiopia is on the map. It's not in North Africa
>present
We would have written records then.
>>1153924
So how did blacks from those populations end up in Roman lands? Magical Yakub powers?
>>1153930
They were there just not in great numbers.
>>1153934
My point exactly. I told you they were present in North Africa in some fashion.
>>1153924
>How? They didn't control Egypt anymore
>you need to control a region to live there
>>1153936
Okay then. It just doesn't validate OP's question of there being many blacks in the empire.
>>1153946
Many is subjective.
>>1153945
Is that so?
>>1153956
>No Nubians lived in Egypt after Nubians left power
This isnt Total War
>>1153887
Just like Germanicus was blond and blue eyed
>>1153951
Stop being facetious you fag
>>1153906
>>1153968
there's nubians in egypt in total war
>>1153861
None that were mentioned no. The Romans didn't really have many dealings with Black tribes in North Africa. Their presence there was ultimately minor compared to the rest of their empire.
I'm guessing that when they took control of Egypt, there would have been Nubians in the south

Lucius Quietus was a commander for the Romans Berber Calvary division and is explicitly mentioned to be dark skinned with tangled hair. He was at least partially black, given that Berber is more of a cultural group than an ethnic one and there was a lot of intermixing between both Caucasian-Berbers and Afro-Berbers.

>>1153861
Maybe a few Ethiops and black North Africans, they aren't really documented so not many.

DESIGNATED
>>1153861
There wouldn't have been that many even after the entire Empire's free population was made citizens after 212 A.D. The only point of contact between sub-saharan Africa and the Roman Empire was Axum and it is unlikely that many slaves were sent north from them. There were probably a few freed slaves from back in the day who became citizens but I doubt it would have added up to more than a few hundred or thousands.
>>1153861
Yes quite a few in Egypt.
They were probably plenty of black people in the roman empire, however the question was, were they roman citizens?
I doubt it.
>>1155891
Literally every free born man under the empire was a citizen after 212
>>1153861
No, black slaves (and therefore also black liberti) were something very exotic
I remember reading about a black playwright. Dunno if he was a citizen.

>His main achievements were during the Second Punic War where he is best known for defeating Hannibal at the final battle at Zama, one of the feats that earned him the agnomen Africanus.
Literally the beginning of his Wikipedia article

>dark skin means black
>tangled hair is unique to black africans
dark skinned most likely just means "darker than our skin"
