I found this on Facebook believe it or not!

I know a French group who have a dark-skinned auxilia of African descent. They took a lot of abuse, can you imagine that! Talk about educating people...

Dromedarii were found in the Alps (remains of the animals) and known to have been posted as far north as modern Belgium. Dromedarii, as I see it, are more likely to have originate from the southern parts of the Sahara than what we know as Africa, which was more the coast and the fertile regions within a day of the coastline.
