What's the likelihood of having ethnic Roman ancestors if you're white (mostly of North-Western European stock)?

Unless Italian or Spanish not likely

Probably French also have a good amount, maybe even more than Spaniards.
Turks too
"Roman ancestry"
Are you retarded.
Rome was a city state and turned into an empire.
Its like asking if its possible you have Athenian ancestry, ya cunt.
Not really, but there was one who definitely was.
Probably. We were occupied by rome for 350 or so years.
Some English nobility can through Roman-successor states trace their lineage back to some of the late Roman senatorial class and a few figures.
For example, there was an emperor Magnus Maximus who claimed to be descended from Julius Caesar's cousin, Sextus Julius Caesar. He usurped the NW corner of the empire (Britain, Rhine and Gaul) near the end of the 4th century. He was related by marriage a couple generations up to Constantine's dynasty and was of senatorial rank so his claims are plausible.
He married off his children to various Roman successor-kingdoms in England and Wales as probably did other wealthy senatorial men all throughout the empire.
Weren't brits and spaniards just celts larping as romans?
being blonde =/= not possibly having med ancestry
it definitely means you are subhuman though
both my parents and their grandparents are irish and I feel like I have a special ability to go without food for a long time, like when im running on an empty stomach its as if my ancestors are looking down on me with a smile, because I am feeling and fighting through the same pain of hunger that they did during the famine, and that I can learn to be okay with it.
I 100% believe in epigenetics
In the histories, most of the Roman emperors are described as having "Grey eyes"
How the fuck can I be born blonde when my dad has jet black hair? Pol anthropology explain
I had blonde hair and blue eyes as a kid and now its brownish and I have green eyes.
shit can change
Mom cheated
When I was a kid my hair was blonde and then it turned brown. Shit really do be changing and sheeit

I wonder if it's because Germanics invaded and overthrew the leadership regularly, or if everybody in southern Europe was light and dark features became the result of people mixing with outsiders. Guess we'll never know for sure.
Possibly. Most pure Southern Euros don't look very arabic, the shitskin looking ones in sicily always have at least like 10% identifiable north african admixture.
he's talking about italian ancestry obviously, smart ass
Mom has dark brown hair and hazel eyes. I wasn't adopted because I look similar to my mom's brother
your hair goes darker as you get older, there's very few blond grown men past the early twenties outside of scandinavia
did you consider that people who could survive and bear with hunger better were selected for?
that would be slavic in origin, if anything. Or it was from the original indo-european stock that brought indo-european languages to southern europe/
A lot of these early European civilizations have founding myths that involve mass migration/foreign invasion from either the north or a prestigious place like Troy. Early Greek history involves the migration of people from modern Serbia/Croatia down into Greece. In Rome its Trojan refugees combined with people who were there (Latins) that crossed the Adriatic.
One thing we know for sure is that people invented the chariot in modern Ukraine and invaded & imposed new languages on most of Europe (Indo-European/Aryan invasion) and that there's some evidence for it happening again with the invasion of the "Sea Peoples" - probably from Greece and central Europe
>Mom has dark brown hair and hazel eyes. I wasn't adopted because I look similar to my mom's brother
user, I...
It’s more than a likelihood. It’s a mathematical certainty.

mfw my mom fucked my uncle
Napoleon was Italian :^)
A large amount of Italians wont have Roman ancestry because Rome was an Italic city state.
An Italian with Sicilian ancestry is more likely related to Mycenaean Greeks than Romans.
Its like a Anatolian Pontic Greek claiming Spartan or Athenian ancestry just because they're Greek. Yes they're Greek, but they're Pontic Greek. The Greeks found in Pontic Anatolia went there in 800BC, so they cannot possibly claim Athenian heritage.
Being part of a Greek tribe does not make you Athenian, neither does being part of an Italic tribe make you Roman. The invention of nations is very modern, for most of history your heritage was based on your tribe, which is much more accurate than how we determine someones ethnicity now.
0 since if you have them you're nonwhite.
Rome fell for the same reason all the post Alexander Hellenistic kingdoms did , muttification and mixing with Africans/asians
All that today would considered to be france, germany and partly britan was completly controlled by romans at some point in history
Than the germanics fought back and they had to build the limes
You can have roman dna even if youre from other parts of europe
100%
But only Italians would be closely genetically related and they'd have a far greater number of Roman ancestors
Not even Romans put much stock in "Ethnic Romans".
Sorry lads, Romans were Civnats.
I know, it;s a pity.
recessive genes
WE
100% statistically speaking.
Seeing as the number of grandparents doubles with each generation.
2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256
2000 years is approximately 80 generations.
I am Italian, and have the roman nose and features
Zero. The Roman patrician class stopped reproducing completely near the end, as does our childless ruling elite right now.
People claim to be descendants to get favour in primitive, base societies.
The only ones who did reproduce were the Byzantine Emperors, but intermarriages of those were only allowed with other Orthodox monarchies, most of them Eastern European.
Thats been debunked 100 times now you imbecile
>Tfw my Grandpa is literally Roman and from Rome.
Feels good to be half Italian.
It's also funny how everyone here is talking out of his ass.
Spanish-British mastermutt here, I have Iberian looks. Hazel eyes and a typical Roman nose with the bump in the middle .
Only French from the south of France, the Franks are Germanics who got culturally latinized
No one knows their DNA since no one took a sample. Unless you find mummies in Italy from that era.
You must be a descendant of Julius Caesar, your nose looks just like his.
Pride like this is equal to engaging in Satanism. You are not god or godly, just as none of us here are.
No imagined quality you believe you have makes you better than anyone else.
Unless you have Italian ancestors, you're probably shit out of luck. Do you?
Check my math.
Why do you give a fuck unless you're desperately seeking approval from Kletus the Kousinfucker Klansman and think Neo-Nazis are the new hip white fad? In either case kill your self you stupid nigger.
Your mistake is thinking that the population doubles, if it did, there would be a lot more people today.
Only if people reproduce, which the patrician class in Rome did not.
Long before they vanished from the earth they started adopting children because they didn't have ones of their own.
They have been wiped out entirely. there are no descendants of them.
1/1024 Italian here
Kek, we'll consider making you an honorary roman.
There is a degree of inbreeding in populations over a long time that makes it possible both for populations to avoid the damage from excessive inbreeding as well as making it possible to exist as an ethnic group
So no, you wuz not romanz n shit
Wrong. I am god
I believe the first Romans came to Italy from Asia.
somewhat likely if you have at least ancestors from the roman empire.
For instance, if you have charlamagne as an ancestor, you have guaranteed Roman ancestry
That's literally what the Aeneid says
>same nose
>same hair
>same ears
>same brow
>same cheek bones
>>>literally no chin
I'd say I am about more than 0% roman.
"Aurea Barba" definitely means "Golden Beard", seems like this dude is pulling things from his ass and just saying "HUR HERE'S MY SOURCE" and just hoping that nobody actually looks it up.
Chronographia missing its beginning and end means that it holds little historical value? What kind of mental gymnastics brought him to this conclusion? Little value to whom? Well clearly the butthurt bitch who made that picture, but I Googled and couldn't find another source claiming this.
Centra Asians are the only true descendants of Romans.
oops I meant Central Italians.
You niggas need to learn the complete sources for these.
For example the Alexander one also says things like he could jump as far as a lion, had a lion golden mane, smelled like a garden of flowers, his teeth were as white as the stars, etc. Those weren't factual claims, nor were they written by someone who saw the man.
>Centra Asians
>Flag
Hmmm
kek
Uhhmmm, sweety....
>khan
>pure celtic
Mark Antony look so Italian.
A: fuck off you mutt
B: The Roman empire assimilated people from all over Europe.
hardly a credible survey
>being blonde =/= not possibly having med ancestry
T. "I don't know how genetics works"
Not just Europe.
Native Romans= Latins.
They later assimilated other Italic tribes like Samnites, Sabines, Etruscans etc. They all became Romans after the Social War.
>theapricity.com
Ironic when were talking about a list that sources 90% of its references from a historian named john malalas who lived 500 years after the ceasers and is unanimously considered to be an unreliable and invalid source for anything but his contemporary's. All my sources are there to read and check for your self
here i even cleaned it up a bit
>Prince William
>pure Celtic
U wot. His paternal lineage is like pure German, and he has classic Germanic male pattern baldness.
The Royal family are mutts. They are mixed with pretty much all European ethnicities.
Romans were civnats like Americans, which is why they fell. Anyone without shitalian med nigger swarthiness were considered savages.
Yeah, but most European royal families are predominantly German in their lineage. I don't mean this in a we wuz sense, but several prominent dynasties were almost entirely German transplants that just adopted local language and religion, ie: Romania, Greece, Russia.
zero
Feels good to be Roman!
Depends on your definition of Roman, OP. If you mean a Roman citizen, probably pretty decent if you come from France or England, considering Caracalla made all free born inhabitants into citizens. If you mean pre-Edict of Caracalla citizens, the likelihood goes down significantly; I believe it was only around 20% of inhabitants, even in the mid empire, that were citizens. If you mean Roman citizens that failed from Italia, then a pretty low chance unless your family is Italian or from southern Spain. Italians settled around the empire but not in significant numbers to displace the native population.
What's your nose look like?
Also ignore the never white faggots, they're jealous darkies.
Feels good.
pretty likely. the romans bred with the patrician class of most of the european barbarian shit-hut dwellers
checked but not sure i believe you, mohammed

They didn’t fight through the pain of famine, they got on a large ocean liner
Is that counting the Byzantine Empire?
Rome was the original civic nationalist cuck-state. "Ethnic Roman" would only apply to a few Senatorial and Equestrian families and is by now entirely lost.
>ends with Constantine I
Evidently not.
No, it's not including the last few western emperors either.
Interesting list, I never realized Antonius Pius was Gaulish, but everything I'm finding confirms his family was provincial that rose to prominence by supporting the right people. I guess that would make him the closest thing to a "non-Roman" origin emperor, seeing as Trajan was still mostly Roman and came from a long line.
Pertinax:
>He attempted to institute several reform measures
>One of those reforms, the restoration of discipline among the Praetorian Guards, led to conflict that eventually culminated in Pertinax's assassination by the Guard.
>After his death, the Praetorians auctioned off the imperial title
> won by the wealthy senator Didius Julianus, whose reign would last sixty-six days.
Yikes
The rest of my face looks like Julius too, unfortunately I can't post it here. My family are from abruzzo. I also have some Turkish background.
Feels good
At least he's not Austrian like us, mate. He's got that going for him.
Pertinax should have sured up his position before trying to reel in the praetorian guard. That's always stood out as the point where history could have diverged.
>ethnic roman
you mean itallian? rome started out as a small little shit hole which was just a den of thieves in itally. people from surrounding villages and cities would flee to it to evade imprisonment or execution. they eventually rape and kidnap the women in a village to the north because a den of thieves is a sausage fest (i want to say it was north of rome) i always want to call them the miceny (but i think thats greece maybe its like cities sharing the same name despite not being in the same state) and thats the birth of what we think of as rome. the romans bragged about their ancestors being rapist and depicted it many times in paintings that are references by others in historical documents
W-we wuz t-Trojans n shit.
