I'm sure there actually were black Roman Legionnaires.

Not many, but they probably existed

Maybe garrisoned in Egypt or Ethiopia

yeah from egypt

actually it was pretty rare

and they would not have been auxilia, not Legionnaires

There is an episode, as we said, which seems to clarify very well the absolute rarity and exceptionality of the type represented in the comic strip. When the emperor Septimius Severus was approaching the end of his principality (193-211 AD), he was seized by numerous omina mortis, that is to say, presages of death, according to a literary technique present in the Scriptores Historiae Augustae. One of these occurred near Luguvallum (the present Carlisle) when a very dark Ethiopian soldier met him with a wreath formed with cypress branches: and the emperor had a fatal omen, given not only by the crown offered to him (the cypress, is known to be found in funeral places) but by the color of black skin, that color being considered in Rome, very little auspicious in the Latin religious tradition. So the emperor ordered that the man be immediately removed from his sight (SHA, Sev 22: Aethiops quidam and military number, clarae inter scurras famae et celebratorum semper iocorum, cum crown and cupressu facta eidem occurrit. iratus removeri ab oculis praecepisset, et coloris eius tactus omine).

the absolute exceptionality of a presence of black-skinned men near the Roman army.

Precisely the presence of some ancestor of African descent in a distant province like Britain, should remember that there was also a citizenship that could be obtained for particular merits rendered to the Roman res publica. Thus, for example, to Italian allies of Rome who had committed themselves to fighting alongside the City, civitas could be guaranteed, just to reward the loyalty and commitment shown towards it. A basic principle is found in the system of military diplomas that were given to the auxiliaries who fought for Rome. After 25 years of service, they were dismissed with honors during a ceremony in front of the sided unit (honesta missio) and they were handed a tablet engraved on bronze, on two sides. Roman citizenship was granted with it, which, it should be noted, could be passed on to the children, but not to the wife of the soldier.

service grants citizenship

Okay so I've gotta say, my favourite NPC "404 not found" moment has to be this
