Was Septimius Severus the 1st Black man to rule England?
Did you know that Black and Asian people first came to the North East in Roman times? Or that England was once ruled by a Libyan? These and many more historical facts were revealed as part of BBC Black History Month.
Early Black History
Emperor Septimius Severus wasn’t the only Black Roman in Britain. There were other African officers, soldiers … stationed on and around Hadrian’s Wall in the 3rd century.
Black Romans
From the 9th century onwards, there are records of Vikings bringing Moroccans to the region.
There’s a gap in the recording of black presence in the North East of England for nearly 400 years until the start of the 16th century.
Black and Asian presence in the North East of England can be traced back to Septimius Severus, a North African Libyan, who ruled England as Roman Emperor between 193-211 AD.
Severus was unique amongst the Roman emperors as being the first Black citizen to hold the highest office in the empire.
Son of Septimus
The most celebrated example of an early Black presence in Britain is the case of the Roman military garrison on Hadrian’s Wall in Cumbria.
A 4th century inscription tells us that the Roman auxiliary unit, Numerus Maurorum Aurelianorum, was stationed at Aballava, modern day Burgh-by-Sands.
This unit had been mustered in the Roman province of Mauretania in North Africa, modern Morocco.

Genetic evidence
It was recently suggested that African DNA might be found to be present in the local populations near to Hadrian’s Wall.
However, this would not conclusively show that the Black Roman soldiers on the wall intermarried with the local population because of the problem of ‘admixture’.
Admixture is a process whereby the DNA of a population becomes diluted over time and it cannot be shown at what period in time that dilution took place.
African Legacy
During his time in office, Septimius Severus legalised marriage during military service.
There is also evidence that that some Black Romans married, had children, and remained in Britain after their tour of duty.
Skeletons unearthed in a Romano British Cemetery outside York revealed the limb proportions of some of the men suggested that they were Black Africans.
Perhaps they might be considered to be Britain’s first Diaspora people, making Cumbria the birthplace of Black British history?
White people need stop the “black denial” baloney. Blacks being the FIRST people on earth populated its four corners hundreds of thousands of years before Jesus, Columbus or any white colony. Whites evolved in the Caucasus Mountains from Black Albinos. According to science, white and albino is one in the same — recessive mutation of the black gene. All myths, legends, gods, goddesses, avatars and messiahs were Black. The first civilizations around the globe were Black: Ankgor Wat (Cambodia), Egyptians, Chinese dynasties (Xia, Shang-yi and Zhou), Mesoamerica (Mandinka-Shi/Olmecs and Mayas), Americas (Washitaw Nation, Califas, Caribs, Pequots), Nubians, Mesopotamians, Europeans, and Greeks/Romans. White His-story is full of lies. Modern science and evidence disputes white history, which was forged during the Renaissance Period. Black is the dominant race (science) and thus whites have created implants (lips, hips, buttocks), tanning lotions and anti-aging creams to feel NORMAL. Albinism symptoms include pale skin, light eyes and hair, early aging, infertility, low birth rate, weakened immune, genetic disorders, and many other genetic defects. This is science not racism. Listen, Learn, Research and Know the TRUTH. In 1993, the United States returned 68,000 acres of the Washitaw original 1-million-square-mile territory. Blacks are indigenous to the Americas.
while Caucasians are from african decent it has nothing to do with being albino,if you really had learnt about this,you would know the caucus mountains are near the middle east,so it was more like lighter skinned people not white,with blue or green eyes showing up there,then as Caucasians moved to colder climates they got paler,albinos all have light sensitivity,and generally have bad eye sight,that is actual science,.
so true blackmatter, in scientific reality the caucasion is the evolved child of the african man. as the grimaldi(black) moved to colder climates he eventually gave way to the cro-magnun(white) man. and as the cromagnun came to interbreed with the grimaldi they gave rise to the chancellade(asian).
It is a shame that those of darker pigmentation have lost the standard of civilisation they claim to have created. Those with the knowledge and understanding need not argue facts with the ignorant, or you will become like them. They have become the planets parasites, and given time they will nurse the teet dry drying up like leaves.
I discovered this site by accident. I just love it. You all act like Internet race warriors. Black civilization vs white civilization. So what? Civilizations are founded by great people. It has nothing to do with the color of skin or continent of origin. What are continents, anyway? Myths or better cards of the world geopolitical power game. Eurocentrism is as bad as Afrocentrism. There is not a single definition of blackness or whiteness. There are populations of both African and European descent or Asian and African descent. Why fight over whom is responsible for founding this or that civilization? It does not really matter anyway. People who quarrel over such matter have an inferiority complex. It is clear that ancient Egyptians were neither Anglo-saxons nor Kongo. Ancient Romans were simply Roman. Why motivates someone to put a “racial label” on ancient civilizations or nations.

it matters greatly that the truth be known. for to long history have denied the real history and greatness of the black man and woman. so wake up and accept what is real and truthfull. truth thrust to the earth will rise again because lies cannot and will endure forever.

I am from an African country where 10 million died and thousands maimed (hands and feet chopped) because of the extreme cruelty and greed of a European King. It is still painful although it happened in 19th and early 20th century. I do not hate Europeans at all but I strongly believe that Eurocentrism is to blame for what happened to my ancestors. Who created the racist ideology of Eurocentrism? Not all Europeans but their Establishment backed by the Catholic Church. It is true that contributions and achievements of Africans and Afro-descendants have been ignored, discredited or hidden just to justify the Word White Supremacy and institutionalized racism against “so called” black people. The truth is History is written by winners and rewritten by conquerors. This is the typical scenario of a total conquest. Men are killed or enslaved. Women are raped and the land is stolen. A hybrid population emerges. Conquerors take the identity and/or heritage of the people they conquer. History is rewritten.
Africa has been conquered by European and Asian conquerors so many times. Some portions of land (southern Europe, Western Asia) previously inhabited by “so called black” people have been conquered by “so called” white people over thousands of years. It has been hidden for political and ideological reasons. But the past is past. We should learn from History and not use it to hate or condemn every single “white” person. It is the responsibility of African and Afro-descendant historians to discover the truth but also to act and react without hatred towards “white “people.
History is always been part of the political game. I prefer to learn old traditions and ancient religions. They tell so much about what happened in the past more than history books.

You are saying a lot trying to sound intelligent, but the spelling and grammatical errors, let alone the sentence structure looks like an explosion at a word factory. It appears as if you are diving back and forth through time from the past to the most recent to propaganda at best. Basically, everything you have said is being ignored because it is perceived by all as an incoherent ranting mess. Please try a word editing software of some type.
