Most modern Christian religions depict Jesus as a white man, but how was He portrayed by early Christians such as the Romans and Byzantines?

And as a follow up around when did a white portrayal of Jesus become the norm? was it during Medieval times or was it earlier or later than that?

Greetings. Not to discourage further responses, but u/sunagainstgold answered a similar question :

Supposing the historical Jesus was a dark-haired, brown-skinned, and brown-eyed man like the Judean of his time, when did the Catholic Church started portraiting him as a blonde, blue-eyed Caucasian?.

Hope this helps.
