You are making these emperors a lot darker than they realistically were. Yes a lot of Romans had quite a bit of Anatolian Farmer DNA, which gives them their mediterranean appearance, bit like Sardinians. But they had light to slightly tinted skin, despite their dark hair and eyes. They were not brown. And in fact if you look at busts of Augustus, Julius Caesar and Nero and hear how they were described, they don't even look mediterranean at all. In fact they look 'German', Indo-European. For example Neros hair was 'subflavus', yellowish and had 'gray to blue eyes'. Same goes for Augusts and Caesar.
