It means that the second image, showing Roman senators played by a few dozen white Italian extras, is a perfectly likely depiction, and the caption about how real Roman senators were much more swarthy ("like modern Italians", he claims) is nonsense.
(Of course, the HBO show was filmed in Italy, and almost all the extras and background characters were Italians.)
