Imagine if they're 'northern' as fuck

Luckily for us this is The World Coping Community.

Maybe the Slav but I’m betting some will be western/Iberian- like If they do have some Celtic input

Oh yes two are Gepids found near Nish but I’d assume they should be considered ostroGoths. Idk if Gepids reached that far south

What if Romans were Southern pricks who ruled over North-Eastern influenced tribal people?

Besides V13 they also have L283 and CTS9219, basically all the major haplogroups found among Albanians.

Vicinium falls within the former Scordisci territory who were a Celtic and Illyrian hybrid tribe. Definitely these ‘Romans’ are locals that joined their legions, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they were actually recruited further south.

The Romans noted that the Scordisci were of a Celto-Thracian stock when they first began to conquer lands surrounding Singidun(Modern day Belgrade)


Either way, this is great news since we should finally have a Slavic migration sample from the Balkans.

I'm pumped about this upcoming paper.

There will only be Scordisci stuff before the Huns destroyed Nis, after that it's a gradual slavization and dilution. Like pouring water into milk.

By all means that's what happened. Though Thraco-Illyrians weren't very North-shifted, more Sardinian shifted.

Scordisci graves in Serbia from 2nd-1st Century BC were cremated so no DNA available. Typical La Tene style graves.

The Two Goths from near Nis could be remains from this battle;

At the Battle of Naissus, Claudius and his legions routed a huge Gothic army.[2] Together with his cavalry commander, the future Emperor Aurelian, the Romans took thousands of prisoners, destroyed the Gothic cavalry as a force, and stormed their laager (a circular alignment of wagons long favored by the Goths).[dubious – discuss] The victory earned Claudius his surname of "Gothicus" (conqueror of the Goths), and that is how he is known to this day. More importantly, the Goths were soon driven back across the Danube River by Aurelian, and nearly a century passed before they again posed a serious threat to the empire.[13]
