Something between northern Italians, southern French, and north western Spaniards

But the Apennine peninsula at that time was not only the Roman and those Latin alliance cities, but also some places where people were of Mediterranean origin. They were colonies of ancient Greece, and you can't deny that even the ancient Romans were closest to what is now northern Italy, but northern Italy had barbarian blood Because people from the southern Apennine Peninsula would also join the Roman army and immigrate to northern Italy, but the later Barbarian Invasion made northern Italians more like ancient Romans in gene Another point is that the Apennine Peninsula, which was not invaded by barbarians during the Empire period, is genetically more inclined to the eastern Mediterranean than it is now

Rome is fallen because there were germanic mixed mutts in charge. No wonder they achieved basically nothing during Late Empire...

The irony! Rome/Italy had a ~50% population replacement from Near Easterners in the Imperial Era, but it's a few Germanic 'mutts' at the end that caused the decline...

Rome's decline was due to a combination of causes, no serious or sane person would believe it was due to barbarians or eastern immigrants. By the way, the Rome of Aurelianus and Constantine was ethnically no more "MENA" than that of Augustus or Marcus Aurelius.
