You guys must be literally retarded if you want diversity in a roman themed movie.
Rome didnt have darkies. Egyptians and Punics weren't black.

It's a period piece about a movie being filmed in 50's Hollywood.

when I look at the actual facts here—the data—since 2000 to today, that across various categories, the fact of the matter is that blacks, relative to their percentage of the population, have been over-represented in some sense, not under-represented.
Most important excerpt imo

Well in this instance it's a movie about old Hollywood, when there was even less people of color in films. Filling it with people of color would feel more forced than Grease Live.

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.

Wut? I'm assuming you're referring to the Wachowski Siblings (formerly brothers, until one of them transitioned. He/she is actually pretty cool. A far better trans role model than Jenner).
