Why were visibly pale and light-haired people so common in ancient Mediterranean artworks if they were all brown like /his/ claims?Picrel is a fresco of Helen and Paris found in Pompeii.
>>18488330Why is Paris dressed in a sort of Persian garb?
MOST USERS OF /his/ ARE PEOPLE FROM UNITEDSTATES IMBUED WITH THE PRECONCEPTIONS AND PREJUDICES OF THEIR BARBARICAL IDEOLOGICAL MATRIX; TO THEM, HUMANS ARE COLOURS —«WHITE», «BLACK», «BROWN», ET CETERA—, AND EACH COLOUR IS TIED TO SPECIFIC GEOGRAPHICAL REGIONS, AND THE ENTIRETY OF EARTH IS A MOSAIC OF THESE IMMUTABLE COLOUR REGIONS.IN THEIR DARK AND HUMID LITTLE MINDS, UNTEDSTATIANS PRESUME THAT HUMANS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN BASIN ARE SUPPOSED BE «BROWN».ALSO, THEY CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DUSKY SKIN TONE, AND A TAN.
>>18488330Romans were a bit northern shifted vs the Greeks. You did also have Scythians, Greeks around. The Galatians for example. However, the Greeks would def be considered more "brown" and civilization as we know it came from "browns". Middle-East -> Greece -> Rome. Rome got more "brown" as it civilized from Greek, Anatolian, MENA admixture.

>>18488337Because the Trojans were associated with Asia and later that developed into an ambiguous 'easterness', of which Persia was considered the archetypal embodiment.

"There march the hordes of blond-haired men, their heads seemingly engulfed in faded flames. It is a color unbecoming of civilization, a hue that evokes the wild beasts of the north and is only worthy of being displayed on the chains of a Roman triumph."— Lucan, Pharsalia, Book I."Why do you ask me to write a poem... surrounded as I am by these hordes, having to endure the Germanic language and watching them smear their hair with rancid butter? Their eyes are pale blue and their appearance is repulsive."— Sidonius Apollinaris, Poems and Letters"We see the barbarian with his hair glistening with pig fat, gathered in knots that look like growths. His white skin is not purity, but the pallor of one who lives in the shadow of the forests, far from the sunlight that gives color to real men."— Prudentius, Against Symmachus"Nature has given them hair like flames from a fire, but their skin is so white it looks anemic. It's a graceless contrast; they seem like men who have been created half-finished, with color applied haphazardly only to their heads."— Manilius, Astronomica, Book IV"Those born in the north have fair skin, straight blond hair, and bluish eyes... due to the abundance of moisture and the cold of the sky. They lack mental acuity."— Vitruvius, De Architectura, Book VI."Their bodies are soft, white, and hairless... their appearance is that of a flabby creature, undercooked from lack of sunlight, which gives them a grotesque appearance and a lack of true virility."— Galen, De Temperamentis."I see some women changing the color of their hair with saffron. They bless themselves badly, very badly indeed, with that flame-colored head! If you are not ashamed of the enormity of wearing a wig, at least be ashamed of the pollution." Tertullian (De cultu feminarum)."The lotion of the Catos ignites Teutonic hair: you'll be better dressed with captive hair." Martial.
>>18488551You forgot Catullus ''nec nigris ocellis...ten provincia narrat esse bellam?''. Having very dark eyes (nigris ocellis literally means ''black eyes'') was a standard of beauty for women in ancient Rome>"Why do you ask me to write a poem... surrounded as I am by these hordes, having to endure the Germanic language and watching them smear their hair with rancid butter? Their eyes are pale blue and their appearance is repulsive."Me whenever I visit Germany
