Not a big fan of this show, I wanted to be, but the time jumps and actors swapping in Ep3 just kind of killed it for me.
Also. @Em dee
you are very correct. The Roman Republic was very much a diverse place, as there were many different coloured and foreign slaves.
Unfortunately, either you are misinformed or just ignoring facts and archaeological evidence when you suggest that the Roman nobility were anything other than Caucasian and pale in skin tone. The Romans during the Republic era were very xenophobic and would close all political avenues from any outsiders. Also, if you were a freed slave you were not considered equal to a Roman-born full citizen.
Iโm sure you will ignore what I have to say, but by all means do your own research and broaden your mind. But stop trying to gaslight others into thinking Rome wasnโt full of power-hungry white males ๐ like it or not, thatโs just historical fact.
