This was Caracalla (bust and reconstruction)
And this was Geta (bust and reconstruction)
The Severans were from Carthage and likely had a North African look not different from modern day Tunisians, on the reconstruction Geta is too dark skinned but Caracalla is about right. Caracalla did wear a blonde wig while on his campaigns on Germania but it probably looked very uncanny on him.
Meanwhile on Ridley Scott slop
The trailer is hilarious! Rap music, Kang merchant Denzel working to destroy the Roman Empire, two ginger gay twinks as villains. I was half-expecting the Rock showing up with Vin Diesel !nooticers
@Aevann can this get a pin please
Hollywood seems keen on erasing North Africans and replace them with either pasty Bongs or Kangz.

I hate the generic portrayal of Roman emperors as effeminate s*x freak sadists. Yes, some were. However, many were charismatic and capable generals that commanded the loyalties of their legions and put filthy fricking politicians and court schemers to the sword upon taking power.
Of course, the ancient deep court would claw them back into corruption within a couple years anyway.
They absolutely were not filthy cumskin Krauts though

They believe almost every emperor was Caligula and Elagabalus. Commodus is another overdone emperor, will we ever get Hadrian adapted into the screens? Or Titus/Vespasian in some kino about the Jewish Revolt? Septimius Severus and Diocletian are also super underrated.

Jews are like all Mediterranean and middle easterners in that they never forget their grudges.

They can portray them as "villains", it can still be kino and it will be a success in the Middle East.

Funny how this is one of the most respectful fictional portrayals of an Emperor, even though he is also a villain.
