Original Note:
Hannibal may have been darker-skinned than a Roman, but he would unlikely have been black. Hannibal's ancestry is from the noble Barcid family, Carthaginians who were descended from Phoenicians, which means that they would be described as a Semitic people from the Near East https://www.nytimes.com/1991/07/20/opinion/l-hannibal-of-carthage-was-no-more-black-than-king-david-337391.html https://www.thoughtco.com/was-hannibal-black-118902
