Comment on Black Romans in Britain by Johnathan Line (Lyne/Laing)
I am a direct Y-DNA descendant of these Numidian/Maure soldiers. However I have found that not only were “Moors/Berbers†in this troop, I have studied all of the Inscriptions found at forts near the Wall and MANY of them are Numidian/Maure. You can find the same tribune or Praefect on the inscription and also in the extensive Roman records of Roman Numidia and Mauretanian. The statement of the person above claiming Septimius Severus was not a true Numidian or Maure is absurd. He may have had a mix in him but his fathers and grandfathers were indigenous as the Numidians of Massinissaâ€s kingdom went as far East a Leptis Magna. Severus father line was native and in fact eastern Numidians (the Egyptians recognized the inhabitants of Libya as Numidians, in fact a Numidian/Amazigh tribe sat of the throne of Egypt as a late dynasty as did Nubians as a late dynasty). I love how people make statements without any real research. Egypt today mentions these tribes in places like Hawara. The Muslims took great pains to document the peoples just like in Roman, Egyptian,Arabian, Hebrew sources did. The Numidians/Maure/Amazigh of modern times is off the main A branch from western Kenya and Ethiopia. E-M81/183 is a direct original African branch along with E-M2. Yes they were dark skinned and from the main earliest A- YDNA branch. So Severus and his sons/descendants and so many Roman Generals, Governors, Consuls, Tribunes,Praefects,etc I have found were in both Roman Frica and in Britain as well. Especially even at Hadrians Wall besides the Aurelian Moors. For example, Cornelius Peregrinus found on a ingraving at the old archaeological sites of the forts on Hadrians Wall was in fact a Numidian/Maure from the sea port of Saldae in Roman North Africa. I have researched and found so many of these situations at the Wall that it makes total sense that me and my cousins here in the States have this YDNA because our ancestor came here from the Borders (Hawick, Cavers) and we have found numerous Border clan YDNA collections with these clan names having both E-M35/81/183 and J- and other odd YDNA compared to the indigenous British Celt/Angle/Saxon YDNA. These Black Africans live on in our bodies whose YDNA. We carry to this day. I am writing a book and plan a huge movie. This data is indisputable and thanks to Roman documentation and other ancient groups, I have the receipts to prove it. These Black Africans were real and the mosaics of Severus show his dark pigment next to his paler Syrian wife Dommna and his lighter sons. So a lot of the above statements are not accurate and I thank you for writing this article. You are correct. Thank you !
