I find this sample quite interesting.

Basically it's a mix of Italic and Aegean, remember that Greek admixture was present in a couple of outliers from the Iron age era and probably made its way in Rome very early.
In the paper this sample was listed as the first Imperial sample, and it appears that they were sorted somewhat chronologically, that's also interesting.
Now, what is the big deal?
This samples was among the samples from the "Necropoli Salaria near Via Paisiello".
Some articles (In Italian) I found about the necropolis:
https://bollettinodiarcheologiaonline.beniculturali.it/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/2012_3-4_Torri_DeLoof_Salario.pdf
https://www.jstor.org/stable/26598838?seq=1
From what I could gather from these articles, some part of the necropolis could date to the late Republican period, and it's a nice place overall. Not a mass graveyard like some (or all) the other Imperial sites used in that infamous paper.
Now, I don't believe that the Imperial samples in the paper are representative, they are probably slaves or migrants. That could explain why Rome today is totally different although it is one the only place in Italy that was never conquered by the Longobards. This sample might be more representative, since we can speculate it was from the early imperial period. Also all the other samples from Via Paisiello are all fairly European, and they average around modern Lazio.

This is in strong contrast with other Imperial samples from the outskirt of Rome, especially the ones from the area of Isola Sacra near the coast, where basically all samples had very little European admixture.

Also there is another sample which is quite interesting since it's similar to one of the Prenestini IA sample.
