[Mr_anadolu]

[renaissance12]

For sure the typical Italian is not White skin as a ghost in England..

[MinervaItalica]

So you claim he's italian but you can't confirm it? :confused:

[Bosniensis]

Did the ancient Romans look like the modern day Italians?

no, they looked more like Albanians, South Slavs, Greeks and Anatolians.
Predominantly Dinaric and Pontid people.

[MinervaItalica]

no, they looked more like Albanians, South Slavs, Greeks and Anatolians.
Predominantly Dinaric and Pontid people.

Yes, Romans were everything besides Med so obviously nothing like Italians.

Please...

[Tauromachos]

Yes, Romans were everything besides Med so obviously nothing like Italians.

Please...

Bulshit

There were Med people among Romans just as there are among Italians there might have even been Anatolian looking people
among Romans

[gıulıoımpa]

no, they looked more like Albanians, South Slavs, Greeks and Anatolians.
Predominantly Dinaric and Pontid people.

early latin tribes were proably dinaric and alpine, both phenotype that have variety between light and dark complexion, when later admixture with other italic tribes happened they became mainly alpine meds which still today is the main phenotype of italy.

if we were to have a morph of all italian people in the year 1 AD and in 2018 i'm pretty confident the result would be the same,

Sarcasm dude.

Romans were obviously mixed but saying that they were more similar to Albanians and South Slavs before Italians is ridiculous.

[Tauromachos]

Sarcasm dude.

Albanians yes maybe

South Slavs,yes and no

Alot of modern South Slavs look to Slavic to be similar to Romans.

Romans didn't look Slavic at all i would say

[Mr_anadolu]

When you look at the ancient Roman statues they look different the only one that looks a bit like the ancient Romans is Sylvester Stallone

Yeah

But Sylvester Stallone is a Med type he has some Arbereshe ancestry by the way.
And how is Sylvester an atypical look for an Italian.?

What do you think Italians look like?
Like the pseudo Jewish,Middle Eastern look Hipster,Nightclub guidos posted in this forum.

I think a lot of Italians from Napoli till Tuscana look like Romans.

Yes but England has a decent national football team. We don’t.

[Bosniensis]

Albanians yes maybe

South Slavs,yes and no

Alot of modern South Slavs look to Slavic to be similar to Romans.

Romans didn't look Slavic at all i would say

I agree, I tend to encounter more southern Slavs and they look more Balkan than those in Bosnia, Croatia and Northern Serbia.
Same could be applied to Italians. Southern Italians are much more Italian than northern ones.

What early Latin Tribes? I've never heard of any early Latin tribes. As we all remember well, Italy was colonized from Greece and Anatolia in 10th century B.C.
Ancient Greek writers say that before arrival of those people Italy was empty (as much as America 1492) with just a few Celts running around in the north.

True Italians cluster with Greeks for obvious reasons, while others much less for the reason they have more Germanic admixture. I say true Italians are those
in the South only because they have more Hellenic dna (Two Sicilies etc..).

You studied bad. Never heard about Italic tribes? Greeks didn't find an "empty" Italy when they were fleeing from Greece... :rolleyes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latins_(Italic_tribe)

Colonized by Anatolia? You must be kidding dude. :picard1:

And besides neither America was empty when Spanish Conquistadores arrived...

[Scipio Africanus]

He write like BosniensisAtlantis.

From where those Latin tribes came? Who gave them Latin language?

Strabo said: "Rome was Peloponnesian (Arcadian) colony founded by Hellene Evandros (Εὔανδρος) of Pallene" Strabo Geographica V 111.3

Heraclides Ponticus stated in one of his documents that Rome was "πολις Ελληνις" in 4th century B.C. (300+ years after foundation and nearly 200 years before Roman and Hellenic world came into collision)

Plutarchus said that Pelasgians (the ancestors of classical age Hellenes) founded Rome.

Pausians while describing the Arcadia mentions that Romans are Arcadians.

Which classical source do YOU have for "Latin Tribes"?

Just because they adopted a modified etrusco/greek alphabet greeks claimed they were greek , but they were not.

Greek colonies are maritime , Rome was founded in a sheperd-warrior based society with the assimiliation of several sheperd warrior clans each one claiming a position a favour in the various Hills. Early romans where highlander warriors

nothing to do with Greeks until some time later.

Anatolian Greeks aka. Lydians settled Northern Italy according to Geographica.
Etruscans are Lydians and Aeneas, a Trojan Hero is from Anatolia and is Anatolian Greek.

AHHHHHHHH put spoiler on it! Hurry!

So? Do you think only Italians take part in parades? If you can't prove it with name then your pic is just like every random pic took from the web. And besides, just having an Italian sounding name doesn't mean he might have foreign ancestry.

[Odin]

East-Med + Alpine.

[Tauromachos]

Hey Bosniesis why you don't stop spreading bullshit about other countries history without know a shit, huh?

Ι'm pretty sure its not Bosniensis

This guy speaks and knows how to write in Greek.
Bosniensis doesn't know Greek at least i have never seen him writing anything in Greek

[Tauromachos]

Just a normal southern shifted tanned Italian for me.

Yeah..

He looks a bit like a darker more exotic version of Sean Connery doesn't he

[Fieraru]

no, they looked more like Albanians, South Slavs, Greeks and Anatolians.
Predominantly Dinaric and Pontid people.

That is nonsense, they would not have looked like the South Slavs or Anatolians (for different reasons obviously). And Greeks maybe just the southern ones because . I thought the ancient Romans came from Central Europe and were Dinaric, Noric, Alpine, etc. That is actually closer to north Italy types now, not Greece. Mostly r1b rather than J I would think but maybe a blend with Etruscans later

Anyhow.. the guy in the original picture looks maybe a bit tanned or atypical in that way but I'm sure you can find
