Oh wait. His father was born in Libya.
Not sub-Saharan. Damn I really wanted to believe op post was real and not revisionism.

Ehhh, Septimus Severus was from modern day Libya. Hardly "black". He probably was the skin color of Gaddafi. Look at his bust. Doesn't look very African. Not doubting he was probably had some color but no where near "black".

No, 1 second's research would have exposed this. There's nothing honest about revisionism.
