Thank you! Sounds interesting.

It's not a video series though just a commentary

always into hearing about places to go to learn more! Thank you! 🖤

Good shout, cheers

I agree Picts where there, and Caledonia actually means the land of the Irish ( Picts) or ( Celts) perhaps, there is so much we don't know,☹️

The Wall was probably a way to keep barbarians and criminal from easily traveling back and forth.

Absolutely, he was Phoenician which is in no way African in context with the timeframe.

@@LotusFlowerslove He was Phoenician, this fact is well known just as his family lines are, which is what makes all this false "history" infuriating. So yes I agree, rewriting history is criminal!

Next y'all gon say Carthage isn't in Africa. U can't change facts with feelings or how U think he felt 😊

@@christophermallory3400 He was Phoenician which is not African with Greek and Roman heritage... I have no idea what you are talking about, but it seems neither do you.

⁠@@christophermallory3400Carthage was in Africa but they weren’t Africans. They were from the Levant. Nice try though.

My wife and I are very proud of our Scot ancestors.

The Scots did not exist at the time lol. They didn't invade from Ireland until the 5th century AD, after the fall of Rome. This isn't Scottish history and neither is it English history, its the history of the British Island.@@ghimmy47​

You wouldn't think that if you went there keep the romance going and stay where you are

Onwards the brave 💪 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The reason it's important to correct & reinforce the fact (& ALL Records) that he was white, is bc this video & some have attempted to "blackwash" Septimius & claim (even presenting images of him) that he was racially "black" which he WASN'T; & was never even suggested by Historians or anyone. Current Woke & P.C. attempts to Retroactively Twist & Corrupt Facts & History to claim something that is just a LIE, has to vehemently be PUT DOWN.@@sonofaman1116

None of this is true

@Libyan_Tripoli You're correct. It's not true that Septimus was black. He was Caucasian.

​@@Libyan_Tripolitruth hurts, doesnt it?

Don’t disagree with your ultimate point but 1. He wasn’t Carthaginian, but had Phoenician ancestry, as Carthage was a political entity rather than an ethnic one. 2.the historian Augusta is not a reliable source, too many fabrications

Where was he born? Do you know what continents are?

This manufactured outrage is hilarious.

He was African and known as such throughout his life. Try not to show your ignorance so much. Try to hide it a little, from time to time.

He was ethnically Libyan, therefore African (just not subsaharian)

​@twonumber22 the actor they have portraying him appear to be black. He wasnt. Thats the point

Except he wasnt black

It's the use of the term "African". AI isn't perfect. It uses our own language to inadvertently expose our own prejudice

? @davidcwitkin6729 That's not what I meant. I meant that there is no need to use AI at all. We literally have the real stuff so why distort peoples perception?

Perhaps the use of "African" was used to indicate his "otherness", his non-roman background as opposed to being Roman-Born. Not everything has to be about colour. And Libya is in Africa.

He was Berber aka Amazigh. They are not black

Don’t cry.

You know why

In the ancient Roman illustration he did not look white, his wife did.

@@NDHS1990 Firstly, thank you for the shocking information we can take a plane from Rome to London nowadays, and that it takes only a few hours. Who knew? Secondly, I strongly doubt it would take 3 weeks or more if one could travel by riding a horse and changing it for a fresh one every few hundred kilometers.

Depends. If they walked, it would take almost exactly the same time it would take you today

We was kangz

@@travistaylor4342 The fact that nobody is a Kang if you're all Kangs, never occurs to them.

His name is Septimus arabicus. He was an Arab phoinician.

Don't forget the Kweens.

Even if he was north african, he would have been Berber like the people of Morocco, Algeria, Tunsia and Lybia. Nothing to do with sub saharans. They are using disingenous word play. Imagine calling Phoenicians "Asians" since they are located in Western Asia and trying to imply they were some mongoloid chinese looking people.

If you want to be that pedantic, Scotland did not exist either and he calls northern Britain "Scotland" repeatedly throughout this.

That was later of course after the Roman departure But I take your point about Northumberland Tyne and Wear is more recent still! Best wishes

Of course, you, a leftist, would think that because you think he was Black because it satisfies your hatred of White people (and so-called White Supremacy) to think a Roman Emperor was Black. FYI, his father was Carthaginian (not Black) and his mother was Roman (also not Black). Sorry to burst your little leftist bubble, but every person who came out of Africa was not Black!

Fc the Romans the Picts murdered them by the 1000s 😅

He wasn't black.

@@ronlacker326 Facts don't matter to the leftists, only perceptions and their personal truths. To them anyone who comes from Africa must be Black, Like Hannibal, or Cleopatra. If you dare deny it with facts, you are labeled racist and silenced. I even heard some idiot say that Hamilton was our first Caribbean President. First, Hamilton was never President. Second, the Caribbean islands were where slaves were sent to ready them for sale in the Colonies, it was NOT an area dominated by Blacks as it is today.

Yes, I was wondering what happened to Geta. It kind of skews the story. Also, the Severan dynasty continued via Elagabalus and Severus Alexander.

​@@TheGigashadowyou obviously haven't heard of Hannibal was he white too?

​​@@TheGigashadowhow are u so sure were u around at the time? is that yt privilege speaking?

No, it is Northern Britain you fool. That is purely being used in a geographical term. The Island is called Britain, the English term for the Roman word Britannia. Scotland wouldn't exist for almost 1000 years after the events in this video. Keep your nationalism away from history. Its as stupid as someone from England going "No, its not Britain its England".

Scotland IS in the north of Britain, as anyone with even a smattering of European geography will know. And it's also perfectly reasonable to use the expression "Northern Britain" when discussing Severus' campaigns, considering 1) 'Britannia' is the Roman name for our island, and 2) the concept of 'Scotland' did not exist in the 3rd century AD. And as for Scotland never agreeing to 'give up its independence', and similar such nonsense, check out the nationality of King James I and his decision to make London his capital, rather than Edinburgh...

@profaneangel0842 Sadly, Scottish Nationalists don't have an education. Don't tell him most of the population of Scotland (lowlands) was invaded by the Anglo Saxons and was a part of the Kingdom of Northumbria and the language Scots, is the Northern Dialect of old Anglo Saxon... had the Normans not invaded Britain, the Anglo Saxons in Northern Britain wouldn't have broken off. The Normans didn't have enough troops to hold Northern Britain. Don't tell him Edinburgh used to be a Northumbrian Burgh

Scotland didn't exist yet. The 'Scotts' were still chilling in Ireland at this time.

@@alexcapon3620 That's not what the evidence says at all. The British and Irish people have roughly the same DNA. Britain was settled by the Anglo Saxons and they went as far as lowland Scotland, which is where 90% of Scots live. They created the Edinburgh, burgh = Anglo Saxon term for castle. Similar to places in England like Bamburgh.

???

dont pretend you dont know, they literally have a phonician white man being race swapped and played and refered to as a black african.@@GaiusConstantinian

@@knabdank No i don't know. At this time period there were no Europeans or Africans. Only Roman and barbarian. Septimius was a Roman with punic ancestry and would have probably had some italian Roman blood. Black people hardly existed in the Roman Empire. So just because he was African doesn't mean he was black. Look up the amazigh people. These are the natives before and after the Pheonicean, Roman and Arab conquests. They are not snow white but they are certainly not sub-saharan black. I maybe misunderstood the original comment. No need to get sparky, I'm not a deluded afrocentrist.

I'm algerian Berber (amazigh) (North African )

@@knabdank Where was he referred to as black?

Yes, since when is a Phoenician African? Hmmm, oh yeah! Never!

Just goes along with the whole theme of this fictional video because he was Phoenician not African, it's a shame when people purposely butcher history!

@@TheGigashadow According to Wikipedia, he was born in Africa. Citation: Anthony Richard Birley, Septimius Severus: the African emperor, Yale University Press, 1988, pp2,18-32.

@@Gwaithmir Look, it doesn't matter who or what you cite the history is not a mystery and the facts are well known, he was from Greek and Roman decent and was considered Phoenician, because that's where he was from. Case closed.

@@TheGigashadow Well, I don't fully understand what you're basing your claim on, but I'm not going to turn this into a debate. I can only go by what I've read.

@@Gwaithmir This is not a debate, one does not debate established facts. I suggest reading something other than Wikipedia, perhaps some trusted historically accurate sources. This is like people saying Winston Churchill was in fact native American, totally contrary to what is actually and factually true.

In a geographical sense, he is right, it is Northern Britain you nugget. Britain was inhabited by dozens of brythonic tribes. Many of which fled North when the Romans came. The Scottish historian Neil Oliver talks about this. Northern Britain was effectively an insurgency area. The wall wasn't to keep people out, but to manage the insurgency and tax those going north and south. The Romans called the entire Island Britannia or Albion. It certainly was never called Scotia, the Romans invented that term when supposed Irish raiders started raiding Britain in the 3-5th century AD. The Romans did use the term Caledonia to describe everything north of the river Forth, which in effect is the Highlands. where few people lived. So in all due respect, you're entirely wrong. Scotia, Caledonia, there both Latin terms and words, written by the conquering Roman Empire, the natives left no written record, no written language. I find it funny that you're so nationalistic, your national identity is fragile, you have to cling medieval terms to try and rationalise and connect to a country that did not exist at the time. The Irish and Anglo Saxon invaders which would help create modern Scotland is still centuries off.

It's accurate because the Roman province of 'Africa' was made up of both modern day Tunisia and Libya. Though I will concede that most people don't understand that nuance and to them 'Africa' immediately springs to their mind the continent rather than the shape of the old Roman province.

African doesn’t necessarily mean he was black. Cleopatra wasn’t black.

He’s not even an arabian

@@darkwitchy He was part semitic though as his family had phoenician ancestry. Closest to Phoenicians today are the Lebanese.

​@@CanadianAnglicanhhhhhhh

The people of Madagascar are descended from Austronesian people that also colonized the Philippines and Malaysia. The Berbers of Tunesia are related to the Basques of Northern Spain. The Egyptians are connected culturally and genetically to Arabian people. Africa is filled with people of many languages, skin tones and genetic ancestry. It is sad that so many ignorant people believe Africans are one type of person, having only one characteristic.

Her dad from (temazight) they live in north africa they are Latin's so they are Italians and Spanish and he born in libya

Scotland didn't exist at the time, what are you talking about. Scotland was a medieval Kingdom. You mean Northern Britain. Hadrian Wall was not a border between England and Scotland, its in Northern England but its not the border.

Actually, Rome is the 3rd longest lasting. Ancient Egypt is the longest lasting, and China is 2nd.

​@avet4521 lol china laughs at your comment it's written history is 3500 years old and it's civilisation was old at the start of that written record possibly another 15000 years and it's still going, it's first civilisation was circa 17th century bc the Shang dynasty

@StuartAnderson-xl4bo China is not anywhere near that old. Their culture was remade by Quin Shi Huang when he unified China after the waring states period. Which happened in 221 BC. Ancient Egypt began in roughly 3500-3100 BC and lasted until the fall of Cleopatra in 30 BC. Ancient Egypt lasted between 3500-3100 years, while China is only 2000 years.

All y’all really just mmmactually’d instead of just laughing this funny joke? Good grief.

​@Old_Goth_Lady87 The joke wasn't that funny, its more fun to discuss history.

Yeah, the Romans wouldn't be able to disungish between Northern England and Lowland Sccotland. Them countries did not exist and there isn't a natural boundary.

We dont like being called african. I am pretty sure that nobody calls a Saudi person "Asian" since Saudi Arabia is located in Western Asia.

NORTH AFRICAN. We north africans arent black. We are Berbers and come from a Medditeranean region.

There was not such people as Scot’s in Roman Britain. They were picts. The picts were erased from north Britain around 1050 centuries ago by tribes invading from Ireland called the scotti.

There wasn`t just Picts in Scotland at the time mate@@johnconnery1939

well why would they race swap a historical figures appearance? idological belief obviously.

Because they're racist buffoons like the one who just responded above me. They have no educations to back them up, only ignorance.

Of course he's from Africa.. I think some people are just pointing out that he wasnt African in the sense that his mom/dad were from the Levant and Italy ethnically

Because calling him african isnt accurate. Do you call somebody from Saudi Arabia "Asian" since saudi is located in western Asia? I am moroccan myself and we do not call ourselves africans. We have nothing to do with sub saharans.

@@muddyhotdog4103 He aint african in the sense that he isnt from sub saharan africa. Nobody calls a Saudi person or Levantine person "Asian" since its located in Western Asia. Same goes for Morocco, Algeria, Lybia and Tunisia. We do not call ourselves african, that isnt accurate.

It actually switched many times. During the early republic period many men would have beards. Scipio popularized the shaved look for many generations. Emperor Hadrian popularized the beard again.

@@GaiusConstantinian I know. It was more of a thought. He was of African descent and some people say he could be traced back to Carthage.

@@kristiandannevang5244He probably could be traced back to Carthage. I think that he was part Roman though and would've considered himself fully Roman as the Punic people were part of Rome for around 2-3 hundred years at that point.

I am from Libya and we are not black, we are Berbers, my friend

He was Italic and Levantine.

North Africa is located in the Mediterranean, closer to the middle east and southern Europe than 90% of sub-saharan Africa, very far away from the equator, of course they have typical olive skin color. Only people with sub-human level intelligence like you think continents separate skin colors. Even the word 'Africa' came from a roman north african province called Africa Proconsularis, modern day Tunisia, so that word has nothing to do with sub-saharan primitives in the first place. Go take a look at a population density map of africa, there's a whole desert seperating sub saharans. Just like how in the continent of Asia you have indians, Japanese and Syrians living who have nor look nothing like eachother.

North africa has nothing to do with you sub saharans.

​@@rogerbrownreacts8528They're always reaching lol! These people suffer from seriously low self esteem

Afrocentrists think Africa=sub Saharan dark skin. Think of the Mediterranean as the center, and even surrounding it as the relevant land. North African people were not looking like black Americans who wear 6 pointed stars and scream at people in NYC.
