Nearly all depictions of them from Antiquity show them as being Mediterranean. Look at Roman sculptures and frescos. Paintings that show them as being white are not contemporaneous with the Empire.

Actual Roman paintings show white people

>>3032110
Actual Roman paintings show light-skinned women and dark, Mediterranean-skinned men. Almost like the men spent more time outdoors or something.

Mediterranean in not a sound classification.

>painting done 1500 years after the fact by white people

>>3032162
It's almost like you didn't read my post at all.

>>3032212

>as /his/ claim

Since when? Are we in the same universe?

The mediterranean tan thing is mostly a meme, most meds just have a normal pale skin, the tanned ones are a minority.
