Anyone ever seen that ancient painting of the two Romans Scholars? Or any ancient Roman paintings for that matter, they look like your average mediterraneans, dark hair, eyes and skin. Hell they look more Greek then Brad Pitt...he was a joke!
It's sometimes hard to tell with art... a lot of the paintings I've seen they were really pale, but I'm not quite sure when they were made. But then, people didn't go walking around naked like they did in all those paintings either.
