Why are ancient Romans and Greeks always portrayed by Bongs or Bong-adjacents like Aussies?

The posh vs. cockney British accent is convenient for immediately distinguishing between the aristocrats and plebs for the audience. You can't really do the same with an Italian accent.

>>214303775 (OP)
didn't a substantial amount of trve romans (as in non italians) settle in gaul and briton after their military service?

British have 60-75% Italian DNA. There's still loads of Roman architecture in Britain from their Romanization era.

>>214303775 (OP)
ancient romans and greeks were much whiter than modern ones, so they can't really pick some brownoid mutt if they want accurate aesthetics

>>214303882
that's entirely wrong. romans left no genetic impact.

>>214303775 (OP)
If they’re speaking English then it’s the only other option besides American. Also duh, Americans associate a Received Pronunciation accent with class and nobility, which are often also what Romans bring to mind

because modern italians are the disgusting inheritors of a bloodline defiled by intermixing with the worst of the gutter races

>>214303775 (OP)
Bongs have a certain decorum as we ascribe to the ancients, unlike americans.

>>214303796
The only Roman movies I can think of where they are not bongs is The Eagle with Channing Tatum. It's appropriate since America is now the one fighting colonial wars.

>>214303775 (OP)
Because they need actors that speak fluent English. So they choose bongs or australians and the like since because American accents aren't well suited. Also lot of our actors suck at doing those accents.

>>214303775 (OP)
Cultural appropriation.

And what of Good Solonius?

>>214303912
I live in Newcastle in northern England. Near me there is a Roman memorial to Roman auxiliries from Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) who served on Hadrian's Wall. These people did not return home at the end of their service, they stayed and had families. Once the Romans settled Britannia the soldiers were Romano-British. Britannia was one of the last provinces to send legions to aid Rome in the 4th century AD.

>>214303882
At best, the only Roman DNA we have is through The Normas.

They don't have those accents in Rome tho. Vorenus is Irish and Pullo is a Geordie.

>>214303912
How the fuck could be here for four centuries and leave no genetic marker?

>>214303980
The Welsh are the surviving Britons.

barely any romans permanently settled. google it. it's certainly unusual, but true.

>>214303775 (OP)
What romans considered "white" was white skin but dark eyes and dark hair. If you had light colored hair and eyes, you were called "nordic", and the nordics were considered inferior.

>>214304877
Is it really that bad?

>>214303775 (OP)
Victorian England fancied itself the next Rome and there was a big revival of Greco-Roman art and aesthetics and modern stuff inspired by it, including revivals of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and Sophocles' Oedipus Rex. That especially drove home the association of Bongs with Ancient Rome and Greece because a lot of British stage actors of that time were global celebrities.

because there aren't enough Chinese actors to portray all the legions.
fact is 'rome' was a confusion with 'ro mai', the name of the ancient Chinese civilisation that ruled the world for thousands of years.

You can watch some old Italian movies where they are played by Italians

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHfKLRHT81Q

>>214305139
red hair is abundant in many locations actually.
I can understand italians claiming (even phenotypical white ones because no people care that much about phenotype irl) but germanic / slavic people? it's mental illness. you have nothing to do with europe's noble past. just accept your past as literal subhumans.

>>214305139
Dude, I think you are color blind lol

What this brazilian favelamonkey huehueing about

>>214303775 (OP)
Because almost all pop culture references to the Romans and Caesar are from Shakespeare plays, of which British actors are usually trained to perform.

the entire roman empire was pre islam. people around the mediterranean from rome to egypt looked like people. and not arab rape babies

>>214305987
We have genetic samples from the era and guess what, Italians are the closest thing to the ancient Romans, unsurprisingly. They didn't look like angloids like in your delusional head canon

>>214306436
yeah they looked like heavily tanned euros. that's what i said

>>214306602
Totti doesn't look German at all, he has an actual aquiline nose not a short snub nose and the big forehead like Germans tend to have

There are many Italians who are blonde, it doesn't mean they are ''german'', same way dark haired germans aren't ''italian'' just because they have dark hair

>>214306802
i just figured till schweiger looks exactly the same as rocco sifredi

>original Italians weren't white
top kek fucking niggers, they started to get brown when the empire expanded, than pretty soon reverted to normal once it collapsed. Republic Italians didn't look like arabs or any other southern medshits. Genetic studies show that.

I think those threads are started by Indians to make westoid poltards fight each other

>>214306768
well, apperantly >>214304462 they (romans) didn't lol. after all, blonde hair was a sign of prostitute. I dont think they would want to call their own people prostitutes.
or that they were seen as lower status like how half-white people are called mutts on 4chan. they probably have degrading slurs for half blondes, kek

>>214307194
They are.

Because the Italians and Greeks have completely incompetent entertainment industries.
They could make these shows, they just don't because they're too poor and stupid.

>>214307221
there's like a half dozen rulers who dyed their hair red because it was fashion at the time. i'm again saying: those romans went to europe and didn't want to fuck some blue eyed blonde bitch?

out of your mind if you think they didn't


bud spencer doesn't look like a turk at atll. he looks like a dark haired euro

>>214307310
get real, hans. you subhuman nordoid.
>>214307363
entertainment is huge, I mean HUGE. people will believe whatever current narrative is.
>>214307380
Idk, maybe they just used them as sex slaves and didnt want any offspring. who knows. but it's written fact that blonde hair was a prostitute / lower class trait

>>214307237
>>214307337
Its like clockwork the seethe never stops from the eternal white bastards

>>214307221
the empire lasted for 500 years. maybe in the first 50 years they felt blonde was nasty. but as far as we know the best, most expensive slaves where the ones with fair hair and fair eyes

Greeks are too based to bend a knee to movie mogul shills and therefore don't get cast in films

lmao

>>214308649
Yes, what you posted now is literally a recolor of one of their statues with fair skin and red hair (presumably representing light brown hair?). Lets see how natural it looks with brown skin and dark hair, just a recolor, no widening the nose or altering other features like you did in your first post.

if we had any roman dna we'd be better looking but we're fuck ugly so that's out of the picture
the answer is probably that a lot of us are into acting or at least good at it

>>214308649
Roman statues have clearly features you commonly see in Italians (and other southern euros in general) not in northern euros, aquiline noses, curly hair, noses that are longer than their foreheads (with germanics it's the opposite), eyes that are big (germanics tend to have smaller hooded eyes), normal cheekbones compared to the high cheekbones of germanics. Statues of actual nordic people look nothing like Roman statues

>>214308939
Nobody claims italians were nordic, they just weren't sand niggers.

Because Italians can't speak English. And Italian-Americans are the worst. They're descended from the slaves Romans had, not from the ruling class.

northern white people?
>>214304462

The Romans were as brown as those and without having to use the spray tan

>>214304221
>English people make an English movie in English.
>They cast English actors.

Casting ethnically accurate actors is something that has been only happening for the last 10 years. And it still has a lot of problems, because they're simply not enough of actors, who can speak English fluently or have star power.

>>214309947
They had slaves with many different ethnicities. You selectively choose one painting as your "proof". There were plenty of Italian and Greek slaves.

>>214303980

>>214310160
The slaves were overwhelmingly white northern Europeans and the masters were aryan (Indian)

My anon, all except for I, Claudius and Caligula (if you are somehow willing to pretend that Guccione is not an American) are American productions. He specifically asked for Bongs masquerading as Romans. There was and really still is a trend across the cinema. I don't know what windmills you are fighting against here.

>>214304025
