@tohellwithesau Some Emperors were coloured indeed. Emperors came from all over the Empire. Severus war born in Lybia (certainly coloured). Niger was born in the South Italy. Albinus was born in Tunesia, because he was quite white for a person from overthere they gave him the nickname Albinus (The White). Thus they gave Niger the nickname Niger (since he was on the other side of the Empire). Macrinus couloured also , came from Algeria). Phillip the Arab, Syria and probably more Emperors.
Septimius Severus,and Pescennius Niger were black men.
