Skin Color Didn't Matter to the Ancient Romans..

[Faklon]

In both Greece and Rome, the principal distinction was between slave and noble/freeman, which seldom had much to do with skin colour.

Wrong, ancient Greeks in particular were massive anthrotards and Heorodotus' identity (modern ethnic) is based on blood (omoaimon).

For Aristotle however it wasn't the very light skin but the one close to the hue of the lion,

Too black a hue marks the coward, as witness Egyptians and Ethiopians, and so does also too white a complexion, as you may see from women. So the hue that makes for courage must be intermediate between these extremes. A tawny colour indicates a bold spirit, as in lions; but too ruddy a hue marks a rogue, as in the case of the fox. A pale mottled hue signifies cowardice, for that is the colour one turns in terror. The honey-pale are cold, and coldness means immobility, and an immobile body means slowness. A red hue indicates hastiness, for all parts of the body on being heated by movement turn red. A flaming skin, however, indicates madness, for it results from an overheated body, and extreme bodily heat is likely to mean madness. [4]

The colour in which some yellow is mixed is an indication of bad intent, fear, and cowardice, except when the yellow is from an illness. If you see that the yellow turns toward black, without illness, it is an indication of cowardice, gluttony, little speech, anger, and prolixity.

You don’t have a face, but a setting sun.
You don’t have a face, but a fireplace.

Who cares what ancient Romans thought ? Ancient Romans were anti-intellectual mental midgets compared to the Ancient Greeks AND the British empire. The British were quite racist indeed they brought racism to the world.

Who cares about ancient Rome ?... Are you jocking ?... 90 percent of what we see now in Europe was born and developed from the Roman Empire pattern , and then enhanced by the Italian Renaissance.

Europe could be easily in most aspects pretty much the same without the much praised Scandinavia nations, but Europe would never be the same without Italy.

Go to school again.. but not in USA...

Here in Italy you can find all the ancient books you need to read in order to get an idea regard the history of Europe..

Go to Praglia in Padua.. one of the oldest university of the world..
Copernico and Galileo were teachers at Padua University.. and James Gregory, who taught mathematic to Isaac Barrow who taught mathematic to Isaac Newton, was a student of Stefano degli Angeli who taught him the first steps of the new mathematic ..infinitesimal calculus... that was not invented by NEWTON...

James Gregory studied under Angeli from 1664 until 1668 in Padua.
In England "musemum" there are many letters of Gregory - regard the "new mathematic" - that were sent to England while he was in Padua.. Letters sent from Gregory to Isaac Barrow who was teaching mathematic to Newton during that period..

Do you know that till IV century A.D. there were no germanic people in Baviera Austria and Switzerland ? In the ALPS there were celts ( indoeuropean ) and the Raeti ( not indoeuropean ) who were a confederation of Alpine tribes, whose language and culture may have been related to those of Etruscans. From not later than ca. 500 BC, they inhabited the central parts of present-day Switzerland, Tyrol in Austria, the Alpine regions of northeastern Italy and Germany south of the Danube.
