Romanians

Pictures from a folk festival: Festivalul Cântecului și Dansului din Țara Chioarului, 2008

These photos lead me to ask: is there a physical kinship between Romanians and Italians? I ask this because many of the Romanians pictured here would not perhaps look out of place in areas like Rome, Naples or Palermo..

To put it bluntly: Romanians = Dacians + Roman colonists* + Slavs

*Roman colonists aren't necessarily Romans...

We also had Italian merchants and such around here, but I don't think they mingled with the peasants too much.

Thank you for clarifying that for me, Daos. So what I might think of as Italian features might actually be Thracian. Thank you again.

By the way many non-SE there is no clear difference between more "mediteranean" in look European nations. Romanians as pred. Pontids can look like Italians of Atlanto-med type, found mostly in Northern Italy. This is not because historical links, etc...

Here are a few vintage anthropological plates for all you aficionados.

Welcome to the Apricity. Do you post on Stormfront? I think I've seen your username before but I can't quite place it...

Also it's interesting how you've put your "meta-ethnicity" as Thracian.

The Getae were "the noblest as well as the most just of all the Thracian tribes.
-Herodotus

Welcome to the Apricity.

Thank you! It's good to be here! It turned out better than I've expected.

Do you post on Stormfront? I think I've seen your username before but I can't quite place it...

No, I've never been there... I would tell you what other fora I frequent(ed), but I think it might be interpreted as advertisement and I don't want a ban so soon.

Also it's interesting how you've put your "meta-ethnicity" as Thracian.

I don't (think I) have any Roman blood, so to pick Romance would have been weird. I consider myself a Thracian and believe I look pretty similar to my ancestors:

And how did Thracians look like?
Hellenes just used the term "Thracian" to describe all the "barbaric" tribes that lived in the northern areas. There was no such ethnicity.
The guy above looks just like an ordinary, classical bust of a Roman.

Huh?

An ethnic group is a group of humans whose members identify with each other, through a common heritage that is real or assumed.

Perhaps for the untrained eye...
