There's nothing weird in portraits of blonde or ginger people in Rome, they have always been a consistent minority in the Italian peninsula since Etrurian times at the very least, likely earlier
Though ofc it must be noted he is mostly posting late Roman stuff, as it can be desumed from the art style or, in case one doesn't know much about Roman artistic progression, from the fact the Romans are wearing pants or that their panoply consists of spears and round shields and spathae instead of gladii, pila and scuta, and by the late empire Rome was getting germanicized. Earlier Roman and Italic stuff seems to have more swarthier types instead.
