A black woman led Kushite armies against the Roman Empire in a war that lasted 5 years (27 to 22 BC). She crushed the Roman ambition to expand the control they had in Egypt & so Kush was free from Roman invasion. She is Queen Amanirenas.
The Kingdom of Kush was located in Northeast Africa, just south of Ancient Egypt. Today, that is Sudan. Queen Amanirenas, from 40 to 10 BC, was brave, fearless & blind in one eye during battle.
This is how powerful the Nubian Queen was: she took the statue head of Augustus Caesar & buried it under her temple so her people could symbolically trample over Rome. She protected her people & halted potential invasion of the Romans. Kush was later referred to as Nubia.
Queen Amanirenas would send arrows to the Ruler of Rome & say: keep it as a sign of peace or use it during war if he wanted to go against her or her army; until the Romans surrendered & signed a peace treaty. She defended a whole Empire & took them to more wealth & success.
