Lusius Race?

I have found one article online and another in a history book where he is 'black' black - In fact on Livius.org it states that he was one of the few 'black' Romans to have made a career in the Roman service. - Now obviously a historian would not make a mistake with Berbers since at least on or two Emperors were North Africans yet they are never referred to as "Black"

I suggest that either someone find some references to support that Lusius was "Berber" or else use the reference from an actual Historian that claims that he was Black.

Book of Judith

Could someone explain how this campaign could be described in the book of Judith? Paul B 16:37, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wisdom of Roman meritocracy

The article states: "Lusius was clearly an exceptional general, and although it seems unlikely that he would have made a better ruler than Hadrian, the wisdom of the Roman meritocracy is abundantly clear."

But far from being abundantly clear, I fail to comprehend where the wisdom of Roman meritocracy lay in this case. Perhaps someone could enlighten me ?
