Ancient Roman Faces=Italian modern Faces

Here we are.
Ancient roman emperors and normal people's faces compared to modern italians' faces.
Look perfectly like the modern italians' ones.
Our ancestors' blood is still running in our veins.

@Mr86Caesar

Black(brown) hair and brown eyes are all over Europe and in med countries that is absolutely normal without meaning nothing weird.

Ancient Romans were not Greeks at all, they were at first latins+some etruscans and then melted with other Italic people. I don't know why people want them greek, german or something other when it's a well and known fact proved by science that they weren't neither Greeks nor Germans, but ITALICS!!!!They were an ITALIC TRIBE!!!!!!!!!!!!

per chiudere la questione spero: i romani erano originariamente una delle varie tribu del Lazio; quindi essendo latini erano uno dei tanti popoli italici come gli etruschi, i messapi, umbri, osci, sanniti, ecc. Essendo i più forti hanno poi riunito tutti i popoli italiani sotto la loro egemonia, ma la cultura era quasi comune e quindi non è stato difficile( gli asti iniziali riguardavano le differenze tra città, non popoli). Sarebbe come dire che gli alamanni, marcomanni, quadi o sarmati...

@warpig501

Completamente d'accordo.

@MeatstickRob88

There wasn't any "german" mix who created the "patricians", the patricians were italic people who at most were akin to alpine celts , not to germans.

Polychronio, i'm sorry to disappoint you but N.Africans and French are not the same as well as italians are not the same of N.Africans.Let's be serious here.

[Imperatore7777]

@AlessandroFarnese That's right, Romans were Latins with some Etruscan, purely Italic people. They were not Greek, German, etc. as a few with agendas will like to say. 100% ITALIC!!!!!

[MsButterflyeffect01]

Of course why are you doubting? Italians are the Ancient Romans...

Those were not all roman emperors, Cicero was amongst them

*Apulian, meaning the Salento peninsula.

[SOW412]

....found throughout the Italian peninsula. I suspect Italians south of the Rubicon (north of which there is Germanic/Celtic influence), and north of the Calabrian and Apulian penisulas (south of which there is SOME Arab/Middle Eastern influence) bear the strongest resemblences to the Romans, and other Italic tribes.

I've said my peace.

[SOW412]

...far Northern regions, ie, Lombardy, Aosta Valley, etc. which is why the appear lighter than the average Italian, and *some* minimal Arab/Middle Eastern contribution to the far Southern Italians (ie, Calabrese, Sicilians) DNA, making them a *bit* darker than the average Italian.

4. The Romans, as @Mr86Caesar, said, were, like Italians, largely Mediterranean in appearance. Dark hair/eyes, olive skin, etc. This is evident by wall paintings and mosaics found throught the Italian (continue)

[SOW412]

(....much of Southern Italy during the Magna Graecia, and absorbed many of the tribes living there). Greeks greatly influenced Romans, and vice versa, and this fact is evident in the culture similarities of modern Greeks and Italians, in addition to similarities in physical appearance.

3. Outside influence on modern Italians is greatly exaggerated - be it barbarian/Celtic/Lombardic/Ger­manic or Arab. However, there is some Germanic/Celtic influence in the far Northern regions (continued)...

[SOW412]

A couple points:

1. Rome, as an Empire, was filled with diverse cultures; however, Italy (though it had slaves) was not. Italy was the center of Rome, and where the true Romans came from - people from other countries within the empire, though apart of Rome, were NOT Romans.

2. Romans were descendants of the original Italic tribes (Latins, Etruscans, Samnites, Enotrians, etc) along with some Greek influence (who colonized much of Southern Italy during the Magna Graecia..continue next post).
