Basically I think there were small bands of E all over europe but in the minority. And ditto for N and T. I don't think there was ever a civilization that was mostly E west of balkans, and no neolithic ancient DNA shows mostly E. There were not really nation states like today until recently in history.

This project attempts to link E-V13 individuals from three regions - Balkans (specifically high E-V13 concentration areas such as Kosovo & Macedonia) - England - German/Swiss border area (Hegau, Thurgau) The project attmepts to collect genetic evidence, that all three regions are linked by means of Roman auxiliary troup movements between 15 AD and 260 AD. The hypothesis is based on the fact that Roman legions systematically recruited Balkan populations for expeditions into Western Europe. Some hard archeological hard facts suggest that after 250 AD up to 50% of all Roman auxiliary troups were from the Balkans.

Why not TROJAN? Romans were originally believed to have their origins from Troy? But Trojans also had a connection with Thracians Dardanians and Butrint (Albania)
