There is a persistent belief in some quarters that Africanus was actually an African in fact, however, being the son of a Gallic chief he was a member of a Germanic tribe. This confusion probably arises from an incorrect belief that the Roman cognomen Africanus means FROM Africa ie. born in Africa rather than the correct meaning of FAMOUS IN RELATION TO Africa.
