The new language was an act of independence by Rome's citizens and contagious that by 475AD everyone was speaking the language "Lecca Leo" as it was first named except for those few still loyal to the Empire.

Quoting: zenobiaphobia My mother's family are Italian from northern Italy, and they mostly look Germananic My aunt looked like Virna Lisi Countries on trading routes like the Mediterranean or on ancient routes like the Spice Road often have a wide variety of hair, eye and skin color Whatever the source, Italians are very attractive people, so the mix is working for them ...think of Sophia Loren, Gina Lollobrigida, Caterina Murino, Valentina Cervi... Alyssa Milano just sayin Italian women mostly are reverse butterflies. Butterflies until 30 ... then they turn to fat maggots called "mama" dwelling in dimly lit apartments, munching away until they die. Thats good... Germanic gals start getting fat in early 20s... Just sayin petite beautiful young things that are an axe handle wide by 40. Some of them have bubble butts too you could set a tray on. Amazing transformation. Worry is a misuse of the imagination. |

His army invaded Italy in ancient times and many italians are descended from the mixing between Hanibal's black african soldiers and the native italian women. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5330330 Some of his troops may have been black, as the original inhabitants of Carthage were Berbers and they're pretty damn dark. Hanibal himself was mostly of Phonecian origin. The Phonecians settled in northern Africa, and eventually broke free of far away Phonecia to form Carthage. But most ethnic Carthaginians were NOT black. The Phonecians from which they were descended came from modern-day Syria/Lebanon area. |

While modern Italians do have substantial Roman ancestry, they are not fully Roman, there's been admixture since the fall of Rome. Remember, all roads led to Rome. The City of Rome in the latter days of the Empire was like a lot of cities in the Western World today: filled with non-white people. This was also apparent southward, as the Italic peninsula jets out into the Mediterranean. Where did all those non-white people go? They eventually intermixed with the ethnic Roman population, and it's very apparent if your travel in Southern Italy and Sicilly today. Most of those people don't look like ethnic Romans at all, because much of their ancestry comes from migrants from other parts of the Empire. |

He doesn't say much but his mannerisms just crack you up. Did you notice Tony Soprano in the background? I can't believe how fat he got by the time he did The Sopranos. By the way, I'm pretty sure that the Moors are Arab. I think I might have a little bit of that myself. I'm just saying. |

Only a damn fool would think that Hannibal was Black. Hannibal was one of the greatest Generals in history. At the time that he lived, Blacks were in the jungles of Africa in tribes and not conquering anything. I'm so sick of hearing about African this and African that when I know that it is false bullshit made up by liberals. The truth of the matter is that until the Portuguese landed on the coast of Africa in the late 15th century, Blacks had never left Africa. They then proceeded to enslave the Blacks and thus began the slave trade. That would be the first time that Blacks left Africa. |

The Moors are largely descended from Germanic tribes. Does this guy from Tunisia look like an Arab to you?
