Towards the end of the empire, it did indeed become multicultural. Hadrian was not a sub saharan african, that is absolutely preposterous. Its so very hard to distinguish truth from subversive propaganda, but it all leads back to the same age old struggle.
Can you imagine the shit we would have to put up with if these nogs had to learn about the punic wars.... Africanus means he was black, an he were born in rome, WE WUZ ROMANS Y'ALL damn crackas been whitewashing our statues
At least one General was named Africanus for fucking other white people off out of Africa. Theres a handful of emperors generals and consuls all named after towns in North Africa they were born in. All of them white.
Publius Cornelius Scipio was granted the agnomen "Africanus" to commemorate his victory over Hannibal Barca at the battle of Zama, located near modern day Tunisia, which marked the end of the second Punic war and Rome's decisive victory over Carthage. He was part of the Cornelii family which was a preeminent Patrician household of ancient Rome.
Roman naming conventions were such that a momentous military victory would culminate in the usage of the locale of the said victory to refer to the person who achieved the victory there. There are many other examples of agnomens being granted to Roman generals in a similar fashion:
Lucius Aemilius Paulus Macedonicus
Quintus Caecilius Metellus Numidicus (although he was stripped of his command by Gaius Marius in an underhanded political move)
Lucius Cornelius Scipio Asiaticus (the younger brother of Scipio Africanus that defeated Antiochis at the battle of Magnesia in Asia Minor)
Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (his Germanicus agnomen was posthumous)
Have you checked a map lately? Autist without ability of sarcasm?
There is just so many of you that can't detect even simple sarcasm. Why is that? Are you a horde of kids, a horde of Autists, or are you reverse trolling me?
E: And if you go for the "reverse trolling" faggot level, you can go fuck yourself. My joking troll was obvious. Your one just seems so dry it is stupid, if it is sarcasm. Nigger.
She is right though, the roman empire was a multicultural and multiracial mess, which explains why it was a godawful horror to live in and constantly lurching from one crisis to another. Imagine idolising a society where tradesmen have to be bonded to their trade for all generations on pain of being sent to the salt mines because otherwise they'd flee to avoid the oppressive taxes.

I don't remember him looking black at all.
His most famous exploit was the all out attack on Israel and all Jews in the empire. He genocided the Jews relentlessly after the rebellion of Judaea.

Semites. The Carthaginians were semites.

semites come from the levant which is further south.
Their language was semitic. Big difference. Kind of like associating blacks with whites because they speak english.

Ok, so why did these white guys from a semetic region end up speaking a semetic language without being semites?
