But the Roman empire is a harmonious chord of colors, stretching from North Africa to West Asia, Europe, including pushing enough blacks, yellows, and whites. And then, the Romans had absolutely no preconceived notions about skin color that influenced their own progress or value.

Unlike the Greek empire, the Roman empire only captured the lands they conquered and obeyed the laws of Rome's tax and not changed their origins and customs.

Slavery existed in Rome but slaves consisted of both blacks and whites. The slave trade is an economic element in life and has nothing to do with racism. Even in trading sessions, people still praised the black slaves for their majesty and respect for the blond and blue-eyed slaves of Greeks.

But after only a few years, he continuously promoted and held many important positions, becoming the great Roman emperor. The other king - Marcinus also came from a poor class but with talent and charity, he was still supported by the people to become the head of the country.
