I saw his necktie, and it seems is a little reference to Anansi and basically he's one of Onyankopon's children, if I well remember, Anansi can appear as spider, a spider/human hybrid or just like a well dressed man (mostly because of American Gods series) to human eyes, until Anansi officially becomes a playable character at the gacha, my headcanon is Anansi is a tailor, has a store/workshop at Roppongi or Akihabara, frenemie to Arachne, and he gave that necktie to Onyankopon as a gift but he doesn't talk to him because he thinks he's a bad parent with Owuo, acts like a good big brother with us...but at the same time, he wants us as his exclusive model to his designs

NEW MAP: Northern Africa 100: Empire of Aksum (21 Feb 100 AD) https://buff.ly/2GSxpsw Traditionally Jewish since the time of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, the East African state of Aksum emerged as an empire in c.100 AD under the negus Za Haqala. Obscure for much of the second century, Aksum would expand in the third century to gain recognition as one of the great empires of the ancient world. #ancient #ancienthistory #agisymba #aksum #ancientrome #carta #cartografia #cartographic #chad #eritrea #ethiopia #1stcentury #2ndcentury #fezzan #geopolitics #historian #historical #historisch #historybuff #historygram #historylover #historylovers #libya #maps #militaryhistory #northernafrica #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #newmap (at Axum, Ethiopia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8IrTYeAg67/?igshid=jmqstlfw3no9

This is a humble soldier from the relatively obscure African country of Agisymba, which the Roman geographer Ptolemy mentions in his work the Geography in the second century AD. Drawing from an account by Marinus of Tyre, Agisymba lay around four months’ travel south of the Central Saharan kingdom of the Garamantes, which may locate it somewhere north of Lake Chad. It appears to have been fertile enough to support megafauna such as rhinoceros. Little other information exists about Agisymba and its people at that time, but it’s possible they were forerunners of later central Sahelian kingdoms such as medieval Kanem.
