The Garamantes were an ancient civilization that inhabited the region of present-day Libya and Algeria. Contrary to popular belief, recent research and archaeological findings suggest that the Garamantes were of African descent, specifically black Africans.

This revelation challenges the traditional Eurocentric views of ancient Europe and sheds light on the diversity and complexity of the continent's history. The "black Africans" that most likely been in the Roman Empire would have been the Garamantes.
