And they couldn’t stop themselves from adding some black Germanic characters …

Wtf Netflix.

And of course we will have a shitload of idiots defending the existence of black Germans in the first century AD …

Not Germanic, Carthaginian. Another enemy of Rome and a suitable mate for an outcast German.

Germanicus is portrayed as a bit of a fool. Not the way the Romans saw him. I suspect he will exact his revenge on the Germans next season.

Only that Dido in the show is not the same as Dido the Carthaginian.

Plus the Carthaginians are NOT black but semitic.
