Hannibal's race is unknown. Yes, he was from Africa, but from Northern Africa which had been settled by people from the mid east, the Phoenicians. In the ancient world, the conquering people did not frequently intermarry with the native population. So just because a person was/is from Africa, it does not automatically make him/her black just as a person from Noway is not automatically white.

Hannibal was a Lithuanian-American, meaning that he was most likely closer to Caucasian or Arabic than any other race. Hannibal is typically portrayed by Caucasian actors.
