Pope St. Melchiades (around 300 AD)
Pope St. Gelasius (around 400 AD)
Those medevalist and classical courses showing again
*Unfortunately there are no known visual representations of these popes

Pretty much nailed it.
Here's some more information on these three, courtesy of the National Black Catholic Congress:
