LEGEND: The Roman Forum 
of 8th century BC Rome, 
gave us the model for our 
Senate and governmental 
institutions. However, when 
discussing the foundation of 
Rome, never is an African 
(phenotype, given to woolly 
hair & full facial features) 
origin considered. This page 
focuses on the possibility 
that Rome was settled by 
African tribes.

A. VILLAGE IN AFRICA & ANCIENT ROME: Both
in Rome and ancient and contemporary Africa, circu-
lar huts are made of thatched rooves with walls of 
wattle and daub. A model of the reputed village of 
Romulus, Rome’s eponym, is on display in a Palantine 
Museum (A:b). It is identical to those made in Africa 
still today (A:a). It is anecdotal that history preserves 
for us the fact that it was 7th century BC Etrurians 
who taught the Romans how to use tile for rooves in 
place of thatch. Africans (by phenotype) of Etrusca 
(C:c: ii, iii, iv) may have been among the change agents.

B. SENATE IN AFRICA & ANCIENT ROME: “Rome
was founded in the year 753 BC ... The king was also the
Chief Priest. There was also a Senate which had 300 
members who were appointed by the king and held 
office for life. They were chosen from the elderly men 
of the oldest families of the city; hence the name 
senate, which is derived from senex, the Latin word 
for old. The head of those old families were called 
Patricians, from pater (Zeus was Pater), the Latin 
word for father.” This same form of government and 
social organization is common in most traditional tribes 
in Africa still today. In Rome, the council of elders 
met in the marketplace bringing their chairs just as 
the council of elders do today in traditional African 
villages meeting outdoors in the market place (pic B).

C. LATIN IN AFRICAN PRE-CONQUEST ROME: 
J. Williams writes in the journal Britannia an article 
entitled “New Light on Latin in Pre-conquest Britain,” 
that the Celts and other indigenous peoples used Latin before the conquest 
iniatiated by Caesar (55-54 BC) which itself used Latin (1). This is not new knowledge 
since it is commonly known that Etruria taught the Romans the Latin alphabet (see C:c:i) & from 
the 6th through 1st century, we see Etruscans (African by phenotype) in their art (C:c:ii, iii, iv). 
Additionally, in stela preceding the birth of Caesar, Latin is seen in Bulgaria of 250 BC in the 
background of a stela showing the goddess Artemis (C:a) & on the slab upon which the goddess 
Hera is shown (C:b). Africans were early users of Latin before the conquest and earlier and
ultimately brought by Phoenicians (e.g. see D) who gave us the alphabet.

D. CANAANITE = HEBREW = SEMITE = PHOENICIAN AND IN EUROPE = BRITON, CELT, ROMAN, GUALITE, MOOR
i.e. THE IMMIGRANT POPULATION: The Canaanites (sons of Ham) were a Hebrew tribe and therefore Semetic. From the 
Jewish Encyclopedia we read: ”The term ‘Canaanites’ was also applied to the Phenicians. It gradually obtained the meaning of ‘tra-
ders,’ as used in Isa. xxiii. 8; Ezek. xvi. 29, xvii. 4; Zeph. i. 11; Job xl. 30 (A. V. xli. 6); Prov. xxxi. 24; (possibly also in Zech. xiv. 
21).”  It was the Phoenician (see D) who colonized and named the cities and countries of Europe. This raises the question that if 
the population in Britain and elsewhere known as the Celts, in Rome as the Romans, in Gaul as the Gual were one-in-the-same and 
the peoples who bore the same tradition and culture as the Patriarchs who founded the Roman Senate and model for our own...art, art history, Paul Marc Washington, paleoneolithic@yahoo.com
