I missed "male" again, although it is counted in the question numbers. I'll fix this in the next summary.

Interpreting "the Atlantic Isles" to mean the archipelago more commonly referred to as the British Isles, and Africa as referring to the continent as defined by the Wikipedia map.

Yes.

Did this person belong to a group that would be considered "barbarians" by contemporary Romans? i.e. Gauls, Germanic tribes, Huns etc

Can I reask this question? And if the answer is yes then free guess - Vercingetorix.

Not Vercingetorix--I wouldn't have passed in that case.

Assuming this is a clarification: no, I interpreted this as only referring to the islands that currently comprise England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, and Ireland. The only use of "Atlantic Isles" I could find was using it in that sense--I assume as a more Irish-friendly way of saying "British Isles".

So based on what you know, this person could potentially be born on a Mediterranean island, or an island in the Atlantic proper that doesn't fit into the above group.
