Nubian cavalry. They were the key group in the 3rd punic war. They were Hanibal key military unit when he was raping Italy. Then the Roman spent a ton of effort to get a Nubian king to join them which when he did it was a key pivot in the war.
Edit: please ignore this is all wrong

Not Nubian, but Numidian, as in Berber/Algerian. They shared similar complexion as other Mediterranean people, Romans included. Allying with Nubians, who were from far south of Egypt, wouldn't have been very helpful for Rome in the fight against Carthage, which was centered around modern day Tunisia.
Hannibal's rampage was also part of the 2nd Punic War. The 3rd one was just Rome sacking Carthage.

Always had a lot of respect for the Coen brothers, and this just makes me like them even more.

Not disagreeing with them, but:
Joel Coen has said: "in regards to whether our background influences our film making… who knows?" says Joel. "We don't think about it… There's no doubt that our Jewish heritage affects how we see things."

Maybe, just maybe, they're real jews with real jewish beliefs. Those "real" jews I have less issues with. The "fake" liberal jews are the problem for me, they are for equal marriage but oh what a surprise, homosexuality is illegal in judaism.
I'm agnostic and for equal marriage, but I just think it's a bit of an oxymoron to be a jew and pro equal marriage.
Ben Shapiro did a good video on why jews vote leftist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5IqH7oJ9h4.
Like I don't fucking care which is your religion, just follow what it says in your house under closed doors, without putting it into politics or infriging on other people's lives and rights.

The COEN brothers? The hipster darling Coen brothers? Boy, this is gonna piss off a bunch of their fans.

Diversity in some films is not only unnecessary, but makes the movie worse. There are too many black people in medieval European films, and it's bull shit. I love Asian movies, and I've watched a few that take place in history, and I would think it was the dumbest shit if there were white people in those, so it's not a double standard.

I was just thinking about how ridiculous it would have been for Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon to have a couple token black guys.

More often than thought by a person who says "No black people ever existed in medieval Europe, ever", but less often than thought by, say, Hollywood, or even worse the producers of Doctor Who.
The vast, vast majority of people in medieval Europe would go through their lives without ever seeing a black person. Of course the vast majority of people in medieval Europe went through their lives without seeing very many other people at all outside their immediate surroundings.
