The notion of the ten lost tribes of Israel refers to the ancient Israelites who were exiled after the Assyrians defeated Israel in 722 BCE. Presumably they were assimilated into the indigenous populations with which they were exiled, and thus lost their separate ethnic identity. However, many have been uncomfortable that Israelites would so readily forsake their ancient God or their separate identity, and so look for evidence that the lost tribes survived after all. Various people of Jewish faith, such as Ethiopian Jews and Jews from various parts of Asia have been suggested as the long-lost missing tribes.
To propose the Romans or Spartans as the lost tribes of Israel would be no more far-fetched. However, the Romans were a Latin people, who are known to have occupied the southern bank of the Tiber River since around the tenth century BCE. They could not have been a missing tribe from the late eighth century BCE. Similarly, Sparta is known from the second millennium BCE and is too early for the lost tribes.

Who are the lost tribe of the bible and were they African?
The Ten Lost Tribes of Israel were ten of the twelve tribes of the Ancient Israelites who were defeated by the Assyrians and forcibly deported (as was common Assyrian custom). They lost their distinctive Israelite heritage. There is some speculation as to whether some of the lost tribes of Israel were African, but most people believe that the Lost Tribes of Israel merely lost their distinctive heritage and became part and parcel of other ethnic and religious groups in the Middle East.
