As a Greek, this is not how Severus looked like. His dad is Punic which is Phoenician ancestors, and his maternal was Roman European woman. His actual bust depicts a facial appearance that is northern African not Saharan African

They didnt erase his acts & rule, just his racial identity. They had a habbit of presenting people like him with olive complexion to hide his true reflection, African.

Septimius Severus came from a wealthy family of equestrian rank. On his mother's side, he descended from Roman immigrants (the Fulvii) who had intermarried with locals of Libyan origin. His father, Publius Septimius Geta, hailed from a family of Libyan-Punic origin. Severus was a white man that was born in modern day lybia he wasn't black

Mojito :
• Ethnic background: His father’s side was of Punic (Carthaginian/Phoenician) and local Berber ancestry, while his mother’s side had some Italian (Roman colonist) roots. • Skin tone: Likely similar to many modern coastal North Africans — light to medium brown, Mediterranean complexion — rather than the very dark skin associated with West or Central Africa. • Roman view on race: The Romans didn’t use modern racial categories; they cared more about language, culture, and loyalty to Rome than skin color. • Art depictions: Surviving busts and coins show him with curly hair and Mediterranean facial features; some statues show darker marble for his hair and beard, but that was an artistic choice, not literal skin color. So historically, he would’ve looked closer to today’s Maghrebis (Moroccans, Algerians, Tunisians, Libyans) than to sub-Saharan Africans.

I really love your content, but back in those days ancient Rome were black, so it was the norm to have him there as a king even though he was not Roman bloodline there were called the Etruscan. So by him being there as a king would’ve been the norm
