<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4668803, member: 110350"]Interesting article, although the very antiquated use of the term "race" as a purely ethnic/geographic/Italian vs. barbarian term, having nothing to do with skin color, took some getting used to. As did the various time shifts in viewpoint -- late antiquity looking back at the 3rd century, Nazi-era German historians looking back on late antiquity looking back at the 3rd century and injecting their own viewpoint on "Germanic" peoples, and so on. In any event, was Maximinus I really the first emperor without Roman/Italian "blood"? What about the Severans? I suppose Septimius Severus (from North Africa) and Julia Domna (from Syria) and the subsequent Severans all had at least some Italian ancestry?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
