What a weird time we live in. I just can't even comprehend who would ever think it appropriate to make history multicultural. I wonder if people are going to look back on this and realise how absurd the social justice movement was.

is it wrong though? what if there were a few nigger families in roman britain?
>>
>>136485105
Probably about as rare as people with dwarfism, if not more so. So why not make the characters dwarfs?
>>
>>136485105

There were probably a few blacks who came with the Romans, but its disingenuous to use them as representative of the entirety of Roman Britain. But this was really just done to fuel the powers-that-be's obsession with black male/white female cuck porn

even if there were a few that doesn't give them the right to be depicted as the norm

Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't ancient civilizations much more homogenous? I can't imagine it being very appropriate to mix races back then.

It took the romans about 300 years grant citizenship to the native italians after they subjugated them.

The exception is ancient Rome, acting as as the Mediterranean's trading hub, with slaves from all over the place being sold there and soldiers from all provinces of the empire being shuffled about in order to ensure there would be no unrest from tribal loyalties by deploying them in their home regions.

Anyway, the cartoon depicts a black man as a general and a presumably light-skinned black woman (hard to see due to the style, though the article from OP assumes she's native British wtf) his wife. The other thing is that they make the Roman goddess Statue have a nose a mile wide, thus negrifying her (or following the artist's style making it plausibly deniable).

A black Roman soldier would be incredibly rare, and a general non existent (and I have never heard of a black Roman general) since the Roman Empire in Africa was in the northern (Mediterranean) region, almost entirely inhabited by Middle Eastern types (including many Semitic speakers, IE Carthage). Beard is being out and out silly (on the level of ignorant Europeans in the middle ages assuming that since the Roman soldier st Maurice was from North AFRICA he must have been black and depicting him as such but this time for nefarious multicult
reasons) and she knows it. Also, fuck this artist for negrifying British people and Roman gods.

I forget what goddess the cartoon has specifically but here is Fortuna (fortune).

As for race mixing it is recorded as being quite frowned upon at the time, though Mediterraneans were less averse to each other.

People were used to living with and breeding with people who looked like them, in general. Also note that Italy has maintained it's unique genetics as the epicenter of one of the major populating events of Europe to today.

The small amount of near eastern admixture present in some Italians could easily be from neolithic migrations when the European populations were still differentiating from their near eastern relatives.

Really dark black Romans should have been rare. But all of northern Africa and much off the middle east was Roman. There was much trade and travel all around the empire. To spot some Brits and Germanic in northern Africa or Syria was possible. Also the other way around.
