Are Italians really descended from the ancient Romans? If so then why are so many Roman generals and emperors Blond or strawberry blond haired with blue eyes and freckles? Who are the closest descendants of Ancient Rome today?
Why were so many Romans fags? They couldn't possibly have all been gay?
Is there anything we could learn from the Romans (practicalism, stoicism, building, etc) that could be useful today?

Mummy portraits or Fayum mummy portraits (also Faiyum mummy portraits) is the modern term given to a type of naturalistic painted portrait on wooden boards attached to Upper class mummies from Roman Egypt. They belong to the tradition of panel painting, one of the most highly regarded forms of art in the Classical world. The Fayum portraits are the only large body of art from that tradition to have survived. Fuck yahweh!

Looking into it, the language and the history of the general area I ran into some surprising things.
The ancient Iliri date at least to 15000 BG. Slavs came to the area at 8000 BC, mixed with the population. Part of that mixed group moved to Italy and basically gave birth to Rome. The other part stayed in the balakans region (mostly concetrated along the coast)
20 of the roman emperors were surprisingly from that stock.
Then I went looking back into he history of the language and found some interesting things - every words has a disctint root and discernable meaning. In comparison, english historains have no idea were most words come from.
for example, the oldest form of "earth" in my language is 'rt' (by the sound you make when walking on ground)
Soul is 'pir'.
'van' mean to be outside - hence vampir (vampire, not an english word), body without a soul.
There's tons of words with the same root - 'potpiriti' (to re-kindile a fire), again understandable. 'pod' means under, 'pot' to support from below. Hence potpiriti - to support a soul (of fire).
All the words are pretty much like that. All of that gives credance to the proto-languge of europeans that is the building block of most languages today.
I'm rambling a bit, but very interesting stuff. Esepcially when you get back to the etruscians.

Well the Romans did kill all the abrahamite parasites. Perhaps that could be a start? I know the Jews have defamed and libeled them for a long time, probably because Romans were too white.

it's not so much about color but about spirit, early Romans were some of the absolute most antithetical people to have ever existent compared to semites, a gens of austere and spartan warrior-farmers who despised city bugmen, riches, merchants and compared usury to homicide, it's no wonder they devastated Punics first and then came extremely close to exterminating iudaeans, before, as it happens in history, which has its sense of humor, they eventually became what they had always hated

I doubt they have real ones anyway, I mean rumor is Harvard itself is apparently finally working on some, would be strange if some private company had already gotten them, given the high technology required when it comes to ancient DNA. I'd take those with a grain of sand, though actually some ancient samples relative to some of those cultures/ethnicities are indeed publicly available, like Roman era Spaniards, Vikings, some Bronze and Roman era Greeks(latter from an Iberian colony) and others.

that's not the Harvard one though I think, I'm thinking about the other, which should have much more samples spanning from the mesolithic to the renaissance, including iron age samples, which should in theory be 60%(of them) like north Italians and 40% south Italian-like, which given the Etruscans on that plot would make sense
many of those may be Hellenized south Italians that entered the city in large, after Pyrrhus was defeated

The Romans died out because they were just like us, they stopped having children and started letting everyone else in and mixing with them. They replaced their working class with foreign imported workers and welfare while their ruling class did sexual degeneracy.
Augustus tried to ban adultery but by the time Rome was sacked there were no Romans left.
The only way to avoid their fate is to return to our religion, which instructs us to marry.

the timelines and archeological context matters though, because the so called "iron age" ones apparently should span from ~700BC to ~20BC which is centuries after the incorporation of south Italy, which had already been Hellenized by that point
"Roman" can mean lots of things, I'm definitely interested in the OG Latin-Sabine Quirites of the early Republic that founded the state and institutions in the first place

The only one that seems funny is why iberians cluster with Illyrians. meanwhile balkans today do not. I know the slavs moved in but you would still expect some clustering. The Illyrian match seems to be consistent throughout the Iberian peninsula though which makes me wonder if it is basal.

Unfortunately, the wealth of Rome attracted a lot of foreigners during the Empire period. This lead to a lot of racemixing, outbreeding by the mixture of jews, egyptians and other non-white meds in the big cities.
Luckily there were still some 100% white countries to put an end to the empire's misery. Otherwise the browning of Europe would have started 1500 years earlier.
From Pierce's book:
The importance of the immigration factor is, of course, barely mentioned, if at all, in the school history texts being published today, because those who control the content of the
textbooks have planned the same fate for White America as that which overtook White Rome.
Nevertheless, the writers of Classical antiquity themselves clearly recognized and wrote about the problem, as do those few of today's professional historians with courage enough to buck the blackout on the mention of race in history. An example of the latter is the
distinguished Swedish historian Martin Nilsson, for many years professor at the University of
Lund.
In his Imperial Rome, Nilsson wrote: "Of greater variety than elsewhere was the
medley of races in the capital, where individuals congregated from all quarters, either on
business with the rulers and the government or as fortune seekers in the great city, where great possibilities were open to all. It is almost impossible for us to realize the extraordinarily
motley character of the Roman mob. The only city in our own day which can rival it is Constantinople, the most cosmopolitan town in the world. Numerous passages in the works
of Classical authors refer to it, from Cicero, who calls Rome a city formed by the confluence of nations, to Constantius, who, when he visited Rome, marveled at the haste with which all the human beings of the world flocked there….
"There were Romans who viewed the population of the capital with deep pessimism.
In Nero's time (37-68 A.D.) Lucan said that Rome was not peopled by its own citizens but filled with the scourings of the world. The Oriental (by Oriental, Nilsson means Levantine, not Mongoloid) element seems to have been especially strong."
Another distinguished historian, the late Tenney Frank, professor at Bryn Mawr and
Johns Hopkins, made a careful survey of Roman tomb inscriptions. He studied 13,900 inscriptions, separating them into categories based on the ethnicity or probable ethnicity indicated by the names and corollary evidence. Professor Frank estimated that by the end of the first century A.D. 90 per cent of the free plebeians in Rome were Levantines or part Levantines.
Fewer than ten per cent could claim unmixed Italian ancestry, and of these even fewer were of pure Indo-European stock.

We actually have the original pigmentation of the Augustus of Prima Porta and this is what it looked like. This also shows that the Anglo translations of Roman words for color are wrong, 'Subflavus' for example was the Roman word for Brown but is wrongly translated as Blond.

Was in a foster home where my foster mom was from Milan. Her mother was northern Italian, her father was German. She grew up in both Germany and Italy.
A teenager who knew nothing of the world at the time, I asked her why she had sandy blonde hair and blue eyes if she was Italian. She told me only far southern Italians and Sicilians looked dark, where she came from most had her more Swiss looking complexion. She also said she didn't understand why Americans think all Italians look like Sicilians. Sicily is close to Africa and they are basically considered niggers to Italians.
