I always considered them Greeks. Just Greeks, not Romans.

The Latins came from Troy. Etruria was multiethnic, there were Trojans, Italics like Tuscans, Maonians like the Tyrsenoi, Pelasgians and others. They were never a single tribe, that's why also there is no eponymous founder. There is one for Pelasgians, Trojans, Tuscans, Tyrrhenians and everyone else but not for the non existant 'Etruscans'

Those Emperors had Greek and Roman origin and had either Roman or Greek ancestry, they were the sons of Roman generals and Roman colonists stationed there.
Asia Minor was populated by Greeks ever since antiquity. Even Syria, Phillistine, Egypt and parts of Northern Africa and places like Marseilles had ethnic Greek populations. They spoke Greek and worshipped the Gods by their Greek names, before even the Romans come into the picture. Only those who were of Greek decent worshiped the Greek Gods by their Greek names since the Greek religion was one of Ancestor Worship and the Gods were their ancestors.

Another illiterate neogreco/romios who knows shit.
The Eastern Romans were not Greeks, but the symbiosis of Greeks+Balkanites under greek influence and greek-speaking Anatolians+Armenians for the most part. In the earlier centuries of its existence, there were also greek-speaking Italiotes and Semites.
There was always an exchange of power between the two population components, usually the Greeks doing good and the Anatolians harm. The Empire fell primarily because the idiotic Anatolians and Armenians were sick of Greeks keeping the upper hold for centuries without them in any higher position of power. And, of course, our beloved Westerners had ruined the Empire a couple of centuries back.
As always, so intelligent that the islamic monkeys had reached Central Europe. Had it not been for another gay man saving Europe we would all be circumcised and celebrating Ramadan.
Brrrr...
