Was Septimius Severus the 1st Black man to rule England?
Did you know that Black and Asian people first came to the North East in Roman times? Or that England was once ruled by a Libyan? These and many more historical facts were revealed as part of BBC Black History Month.
Early Black History
Emperor Septimius Severus wasn’t the only Black Roman in Britain. There were other African officers, soldiers … stationed on and around Hadrian’s Wall in the 3rd century.
From the 9th century onwards, there are records of Vikings bringing Moroccans to the region.
There’s a gap in the recording of black presence in the North East of England for nearly 400 years until the start of the 16th century.
Black and Asian presence in the North East of England can be traced back to Septimius Severus, a North African Libyan, who ruled England as Roman Emperor between 193-211 AD.
Severus was unique amongst the Roman emperors as being the first Black citizen to hold the highest office in the empire.
The most celebrated example of an early Black presence in Britain is the case of the Roman military garrison on Hadrian’s Wall in Cumbria.
A 4th century inscription tells us that the Roman auxiliary unit, Numerus Maurorum Aurelianorum, was stationed at Aballava, modern day Burgh-by-Sands.
This unit had been mustered in the Roman province of Mauretania in North Africa, modern Morocco.
Genetic evidence
It was recently suggested that African DNA might be found to be present in the local populations near to Hadrian’s Wall.
However, this would not conclusively show that the Black Roman soldiers on the wall intermarried with the local population because of the problem of ‘admixture’.
Admixture is a process whereby the DNA of a population becomes diluted over time and it cannot be shown at what period in time that dilution took place.
African Legacy
During his time in office, Septimius Severus legalised marriage during military service.
There is also evidence that that some Black Romans married, had children, and remained in Britain after their tour of duty.
Skeletons unearthed in a Romano British Cemetery outside York revealed the limb proportions of some of the men suggested that they were Black Africans.
Perhaps they might be considered to be Britain’s first Diaspora people, making Cumbria the birthplace of Black British history?

You are saying a lot trying to sound intelligent, but the spelling and grammatical errors, let alone the sentence structure looks like an explosion at a word factory. It appears as if you are diving back and forth through time from the past to the most recent to propaganda at best. Basically, everything you have said is being ignored because it is perceived by all as an incoherent ranting mess. Please try a word editing software of some type.
It’s obvious he isn’t fluent in English but understandable if your not so shallow minded
I have always been fascinated by black history, and by African culture. I have a small percentage of black myself.. (one of my great-Grandmothers was reportedly half black.. I have a mop of very thick curly hair.. my sister has typically African appearing teeth..but we are blond or red haired and have blue eyes.)
Anyway.. to get back to African history, it stands to reason that an ancient race has a huge amount of history behind it. Not just the history of wars and such, but the history of everyday people, their journeys and culture… Much of this knowledge has been lost over time, but it is (and will be) resurfacing. I am looking forward to learning a lot more than I presently know.
Well said Charlotte… find me on Facebook. Maybe we can learn more together!

The reason black people feel the need to put a label on historical events and places is because anything of greatness which a black man ever achieved is claimed by white people so black people feel the need to make the truth known. The brother that started talking about it being a shame that black people have lost the standard of civilisation that they claim to have created, yes it is, but it happens quite easily. Great ancient civilisations were constantly conquered and destroyed. People fled, people were killed and the knowledge those people had often died with their civilisations. The Hittite empire was a power house of the ancient world and they disappeared off the face of the earth so it happens. Black people are a lost tribe with no real idea of their capabilites and achievements because of the way the world has treated them and destroyed most knowledge of the great contributions black people have ever made but thousands of years of great history cannot be destroyed completely and the truth is still clear for everyone who really wants to learn and open up their minds to the truth. As for the brother that was talking about white people being the descendants of black albinos isn’t right. White people are their own people just like the Chinese and Black Africans. Have you ever seen a black albino ? They still have black features and black hair texture but white people have their own features very different from Africans so that theory doesn’t work out my friend. White Europeans do descend from Black Africans but they are their own people and are just a result of black people moving to colder climates which science actually supports. We are all here because god put us all here, every race is just as beautiful and great as any other, that is the truth. Black people just need to be educated enough to realise this and realise how great they once were and how great they can be again. White people always try to steal black history but God always reveals the truth so the history is never truly stolen, its remains clear and accessable. The Hittites, the moors, the berbers, the ancient egyptians were black as were many others and the truth is clear regardless of white peoples attempts to hide the truth
