Are these the remnant of the Roman army defeated at Carhae by the Parthians and then captured again by the Han Chinese who defeated a Parthian army in a border war? As to the identity of this woman, Rome was effectively a global empire in the ancient world. There was more movement between regions than for a thousand years after the empire in the west disintegrated. so there is nothing intrinsically wrong with an African ending up in Britannia.Mauretania was a not insignificant part of the empire. Mauritanian units served in the Imperial Army and some Mauritanians rose to high estate in the empire, although these were mostly Berbers. The Roman Empire was a sophisticated and multicultural entity. Entree by non-Latins and Greeks was contingent upon significant cultural assimilation and fealty to the emperor through the cult of emperor worship. What is most interesting is this woman appears to have led an upper class lifestyle and was an adherent to Christianity. That is congruent with the thesis that upper class Roman matrons were the first large upper class group in the empire to embrace the new religion.

Years ago I read an interesting find about a Roman era dig in Britain. Inscribed on a tablet or stone were 3 names from 3 different cultures. There was a Roman name, a Greek name, and a Native Britain/Druidish name.
Yes the Roman Empire was very sophisticated (and barbaric at the same time) in many aspects, but very few people were as mobile as these modern “scholars” claim they were. Merchants, Auxiliaries, and Legionaries made up the VAST majority of mobile travelers in that bygone era.

I’m not buying this article because they refuse to publish DNA. It’s that simple.
