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 have a bunch of Roman coins (slowly trying to get one for every emperor) and I keep Geta and Caracalla in the same dirty sleeve without the usual explanatory insert for who the emperor in question was because I want them to make peace and they're going to stay in there together until they learn !commenters

I don't think anyone has social expectations from a closeted roman coin collector.

You can be ashamed, but you can never hide from the autism deep within you. The autism is so great that even the gods fear it... and the neurodivergents fear us!
