Racial Mixture in the Roman Empire.Tenny Frank - Race Mixture in the Roman Empire - The American Historical Review, 1895. It is important to notice that this is about the early pre-christian Roman Empire, not the period when the Roman Empire was governed from Byzantium.<br />As you can read in the article the Slaves of the ancient Romans came from almost everywhere e.g. Greece, Africa, Germany, etc. Tenney Frank tells that there seems to be very little overlapping between the surnames of the free-plebeians and the Slaves of the Roman Empire. <br /><br />Tenney Franks (1916) writes for instance the following:<br /><br />"To discover some new light upon these fundamental<br /><br />questions of Roman history .... It has at<br /><br />least convinced me that Juvenal and Tacitus were not exaggerating.<br /><br />It is probable that when these men wrote a very small percentage of<br /><br />the free plebeians on the streets of Rome could prove unmixed<br /><br />Italian descent. By far the larger part - perhaps ninety per cent - <br /><br />had Oriental blood in their veins".<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plebeian_Council" target=_blank"> Ancient Rome: Plebeian Council </a><p></p><br /><br /><a title="View Tenny Frank - Race Mixture in the Roman Empire - The American Historical Review, 1895 on Scribd" href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/47420438/Tenny-Frank-Race-Mixture-in-the-Roman-Empire-The-American-Historical-Review-1895" style="margin: 12px auto 6px auto; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none; display: block; text-decoration: underline;">Tenny Frank - Race Mixture in the Roman Empire - The American Historical Review, 1895</a> <object id="doc_641809384020202" name="doc_641809384020202" height="600" width="100%" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://d1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf" style="outline:none;" > <param name="movie" value="http://d1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf"> <param name="wmode" value="opaque"> <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff"> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"> <param name="FlashVars" value="document_id=47420438&access_key=key-2i7hv0gcnqiu530hmtt3&page=1&viewMode=list"> <embed id="doc_641809384020202" name="doc_641809384020202" src="http://d1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=47420438&access_key=key-2i7hv0gcnqiu530hmtt3&page=1&viewMode=list" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="600" width="100%" wmode="opaque" bgcolor="#ffffff"></embed> </object>Sapmihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03465238411930728226noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998241577173954853.post-79397638092869565842011-01-23T03:32:00.000-08:002011-01-23T03:33:04.560-08:00Letters by Tacitus - Ancient Rome and the Dacians<iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="510" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lilCKKypr78?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen></iframe>Sapmihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03465238411930728226noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998241577173954853.post-69809654822975806322011-01-20T22:05:00.000-08:002011-01-20T22:22:33.346-08:00Ancient Pre-Christian Romans in UK<a href="http://s180.photobucket.com/albums/x74/Saamiblog/?action=view&current=CaerleonRomanMuseumRomanstandardbearerWalesUKBritainFlickrPhotobyGauisCaecilius2010.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x74/Saamiblog/CaerleonRomanMuseumRomanstandardbearerWalesUKBritainFlickrPhotobyGauisCaecilius2010.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />Caerleon Roman Museum, Roman standard bearer.

Photo by Lourdes Cardenal, 2009.<br /><br />- A well told story - We are all free to interpret this story as we like - for me this is not about self-chosen martyrdom - it is about the suffering and murdering of the ancient people in Western-Europe through the process of Christianization. Even though it was relatively long-lasting, it started really much later than we previously have been told. Paganism was well-established in the minds of the Western-Europeans.<br /><br />The last two photos are examples how the christian crusaders in the end made God in their own image and hung up and crucified “the disicple of the pagans” (which did not really fit their image or religion). You can see him hanging beneath the depiction of the blonde God. These people came from Christian Byzantium (or the later Eastern Roman Empire), they migrated westwards through Europe in the medieval period when Islam continuously had expanded in Eastern Europe. They destroyed much of the old Indo-European art in their crusade, and filled Europe with marble statues made in their own images. It is a wonder that this monument was allowed to “survive”, it clearly shows the ancient Indo-Europeans. A likely explanation for why it is kept is the fact that it in some ways represents a documentation or a monument of the christians own victory.Sapmihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03465238411930728226noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998241577173954853.post-83118593155487106922011-01-17T04:55:00.000-08:002011-01-18T13:43:01.356-08:00Ancient Etruscan Art of Europe - Culturally related to the Phoenician Seafarers and the glue between Asia and Western Europe<a href="http://s180.photobucket.com/albums/x74/Saamiblog/?action=view&current=Gold_pin_figure_Louvre_Bj954GoldpinwithaMistressoftheAnimalspotniatheronGoldwithgranulationca630BCJatrow2008.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x74/Saamiblog/Gold_pin_figure_Louvre_Bj954GoldpinwithaMistressoftheAnimalspotniatheronGoldwithgranulationca630BCJatrow2008.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br />Etruscan.
