Why did Roman emperors have such fair skin?
>>
>>14775589
Reconstruction is not even close.
Also, melas is not a real source.
Unless you believe every single chronicler writing about people from millennia before him.

Not only do I look like this and say this. I also raped your sister 10 times and dumped her in a dirty alleyway.

Not before disemboweling her and fucking her intestines too, obviously.

Who the fuck is melas lmao. Are you saying that people think augustus is blonde because of some guy called melas? Hahaha. Holy fuck, to be this ignorant

1. sub+flavum does not mean "less then blond", one should not try to interpret a language he does not know in such way. The prefix sub- is correctly translated as "somewhat" or "-ish".
2. "as he was described in ancient sources of his contemporaries": there are no contemporary sources for his appearance, but Suetonius describes his hair as "subflavum" (I have still not heard a convincing argument that it means "just brown") and Pliny the Elder explicitly describes his eyes as very pale blue.

Also, "meaty outward lips" are characteristic of hellenized art which this statue is an example of. Other portraits depict him with normal/thin lips.

Given the reconstructions of Roman portraits it appears that Spaniards and Northern-Italians are the closest match to the ancient Romans, which is rather curious since both regions have heavy Germanic admixture. The ancient Romans certainly weren't Terrones.

Are we for fucking real?
Or are you just saying shit to own le sicilians.
>>
>>14775589
Anyone that thinks Augustus had a pure blonde hair is utterly retarded. Given what we know his hair would most likely have been light brown

Augustus complexion was more like this considering Suetonius description and Roman genes, than like that based on Daniel Craig fanart

The guy is by every metric closer to Romans by DNA than any italian below Reggio Emilia. Also fits more with Augustus appareance according to Suetonius.

>He had clear, bright eyes ... His teeth were wide apart, small, and ill-kept; his hair was slightly curly and inclined to chestnut; his eyebrows met. His ears were of moderate size, and his nose projected a little at the top and then bent ever so slightly inward. His complexion was between dark and fair. He was short of stature, although Julius Marathus, his freedman and keeper of his records, says that he was five feet and nine inches
>>
>>14777141
Closer means nothing.
He shares derived alelles with north africans identical by descent because HE IS identical by descent to north africans
A thing g25 is not meant to measure.

So his facial structure mimics subsaharan traits like in all iberians, because he indeed has derived alelles, SNPs and dna segments sourced from niggers from literal Congo.
>>
>>14777152
He's the closest thing you'll find to Augustus on physical appareance, no matter how many mental gymnastics you do to cope about it. The descriptions of Suetonius, the polychromy of the statues and the DNA tell everything necessary about the matter.

When will people on /his/ understand that some hundred thousand tribesmen migrating somewhere is going to have only a minimal impact on a population numbering in the millions.

Because all of the conquerors of the Ancient world did

Augustus grampa was a fucking swarthy Calabrian ropemakers

The imperial cult religion among the top echilon in Rome was the persian zorastrian and mithras worship.it qas infiltrated and hijacked long before they even started having ceasers or single emporers. They were very much aryan, sythian, tuatha de danna.
