True, his phenotype would more closelyresemble arab than black. He was pheonician(spelling), from lebanon or some other middle east country. It's likely he wasdarker than usual because of the sun, this was more than likelythe reason for the roman's pejorative remarks. But there was a black population in Carthage, and it's more than likely they were included in the army.confused3
