the one from 1200 bc is sometimes labeled iron age, sometimes bronze, other two are proper bronze

They also had typical Balkan haplogroups pretty much absent from Italy and most present in modern Albanians, so I don't think they were Italics of any kind. They never lived here, especially not in remote dinaric region.

See, I said early Romans would be SW Europeans. I'm repeating it for months here: Southern Europe was once mostly Iberian/North Italian like. Look at how Anatolian admixture decreased and other components increased with the passage from Republican to Imperial Era.

The most EEF/Anatolian admixed mainland Euros are the North Italians and Iberians.

Well done on predicting that thing everybody already knew

Only today

False. Romans were mostly like modern South Italians.
Most of the Eastern Mediterranean DNA in ancient Romans and modern South Italians came from Aegean sources, not direct admixture from the Middle East.

Bow down to the Portuguese-Piedmontese-Western Lombard-Swiss Italian master race. WE WUZ FUCKING ROMANS HAHAHAHA. Augustus was a fucking Piedmontese, can you believe it? How will greasy terroni and snowniggers cope?

[Calpurnius]

Now that I'm looking more deeply, it seems this iron age individual from Croatia is dated only to 805-761 calBCE, supplementary info, page 24. Which sample is this?

The only well-fit one-way model is with an Iron Age individual from Croatia dated to 805-761 calBCE,
suggesting that this individual form a clade with Iron Age central Italians, with respect to all the
populations in the “right” set (ANC17). This result, together with those for Neolithic and Copper Age
individuals, points to tight connections between Italy and the Balkans from Neolithic to Iron Ages.

They sampled a trading center, no surprise there for the genetic results

Honestly I had noticed that a lot of Roman busts were highly west-influenced. Some people laughed at my analysis but it's confirmed to be true, also it destroys nordicist theories.

Early Romans possibly closer to NORTH GERMANS than to fucking terroni.

Results of a Piedmontese from Borgo San Dalmazzo (Early Romans seems to plot with North-Western Italians and Portuguese on the map):

I see some T haplogroup from the iron age onwards. My surname is said to have originated in Venice and I am myself a T Y-DNA carrier.

That is pretty cool.
