I've heard that Roman elite requested blond slave boys and girls because they were exotic. Sporus, a blond slave boy was castrated and became Nero's husband/wife.
>>18487837Blondes were to the Romans what Asian girls are in modern White countries.
>>18487837They'd make wigs out of northerners' hair to use as exotic accessories.
>>18487837'flava coma' (blonde hair) was one of the terms meaning 'prostitute'. that's what they thought of it.
I love blond boys
>>18487837We won't get trans gf like Sporus...why live?
>>18487837Blondes were considered the most attractive, highest class, most divine. Thats why whores dyed their hair blonde and why everyone wanted a blonde slave (if they could get one).
>>18487837>The Roman historian Tacitus, writing during the first century AD, made the following insightful remarks on the racial nature of the Germans: “I concur in opinion with those who deem the Germans never to have intermarried with other nations but to be a pure and unmixed race, stamped with a distinct character. Hence, a family likeness pervades the whole, though their numbers are great. Their eyes are stern and blue, their hair ruddy, and their bodies large.”>In what became a major twist of irony, Rome began to rely more and more on German and Celtic mercenaries to fill the ranks of its armies. This was caused by the demographic changes at work within Italy which saw declining numbers of Romans. Rome, with its status as capital of the empire, had acted as a magnet for slaves and immigrants from all over the known world, but particularly from the Middle East.>After Caesar had finally subdued the Celts, he was challenged by Pompey back in Rome to disband his army. Caesar then famously marched on Rome, which ultimately led to his seizure of power. Some six thousand German mercenaries marched with Caesar’s army to Rome, the forerunners of many thousands who would end up serving in the Roman army.>In his book, The Gallic War, Caesar, who was himself a Nordic type, compared the Romans of that time with the Gauls, remarking how blond the Gauls were and, in comparison with the Romans, how tall they were. (Caesar went on to describe Celts in Britain as being blond, but not so much as their Celtic brethren in Gaul.)>The Germans and Celts therefore ended up being the primary source of recruits for the Roman armies. This is not surprising, considering that in racial terms they were much closer to the original Romans than the majority of inhabitants of Rome from the second century AD onward.
