Right has a longer and pointier nose.
Left has a big forehead, right has a small forehead.
Left has has a bigger, longer jaw which make a round curve. Right a small jaw which almost goes straight from the ear to the chin.

No, Nordic is a particular race, which is a near equal mix of the aboriginal I1 and Aryan* R1b/R1a invaders.

The progenitors of Roman culture were Aryans, but not Nordic. They were probably more light-skinned than modern Italians, due to modern Italians descending (partly) from nearby African and Arab populations.

So there IS some truth to Romans being white, or at least Caucasian, by today's standards, but they were certainly not Nordic.

*Yes, Aryan is the correct word. I won't use "Indo-European" because "Aryan" is such a scary word. Grow up.

Aryan is actually the wrong word though. You just make yourself look stupid using it outside of India and Iran, which I guess is appropriate considering that 'African and Arab' bullshit.
>>
>>1369469
No, it is not. Look at books about Indo-Europeans from before WW2. They all use Aryan, because they recognized that these were the same peoples that invaded India, as described in the Vedas (where they are named Aryans). I have no emotional attachement to the word, the meaning is the same, I just hate that we let ONE regime in Germany ruin how we talk about the past.

And my comment about Africans and Arabs IS true. Ancient Greeks and Romans were not as swarthy as today. Again, I don't care, but these are the facts. In the Iliad, nearly every character description is a fair-haired and blue eyes person. Achillevs actually did have light hair.

Why would you deliberately use outdated scholarship? Modern scholars recognise that the people who called themselves 'Aryans' were Central Asian tribes who broke off from the Proto-Indo-European population and migrated into India and Iran. Calling all Indo-Europeans 'Aryan' is wrong for the same reason that calling all Indo-Europeans 'Celts' is wrong.

As for the race of the Ancient Greeks, this disproves most of the lies about them; http://dienekes.awardspace.com/articles/hellenes/

It's funny because in hundreds of portraits we have of ancient Romans light eyes are extremely rare, even though they used the color blue frequently for other things. Italians today have some 30% light eyes so it's strange that they were so uncommon back then. Maybe Germanic slaves plus Germanic invaders ended up bleaching the local population.

>>1369411
It was common to use the terms "blonde" and "fair" to describe light brown hair or olive skin, since most people in the region were darker. Blue eyes are not absurdly uncommon in meds but it is rare. Same thing with truly blonde hair. These traits aren't exclusive to Germanic people, just more common.

Besides, both the Romans and Greeks prided themselves on their shorter stature and swarthy appearance. The ghastly pale barbarians to the north were basically considered niggers.

You know what that "big nose" is called? An Aquiline nose.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquiline_nose

It comes from the LATIN word aquilinus because it was such a common trait among ROMANS.

>Although the aquiline nose is found among people from nearly every area of the world, it is generally associated with and thought to be more frequent in certain ethnic groups originating from Southern Europe, South Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and the Horn of Africa.

If we want to draw retarded conclusions from that picture, then it's not "the Romans were nordic", but "the Nordic master race ideal is actually Latin".

Of course Mediterraneans look different in general. The problem with the kooky 19th century racial science stuff is trying to categorize people based on minor facial differences that have a fuck of a lot of variance within even very related genetic populations. Claiming that because a Roman has a straight nose makes him somewhat or entirely germanic is exactly where this bullshit has gotten us.

If you're really interested in genetic history and all that the best way to do it would be hablotype although that also doesn't look too good for the nordicists.

No they are just tanned, It's not impossible for any northerner (maybe the fucking danes) to get a quite hefty tan, Scandinavians are pale as fuck in the winter but all they do for 3 months when the sun actually shines is sunbathing-

Where did France fit in? I know Gobineau was a Frenchman, but was he the exception of the rule? Did French racial theories swing more to Nordicism, Mediterraneanism or were they simply never popular in France altogether?

I can't find anything on it, but France is in that curious position where it is both Latin and Germanic to a certain extent.
>>
>>1368923
It's my understanding that the original Latins were invading men, as evidenced by the fact that they had to steal women to found the city. Whatever they were, they likely were not from the immediate area. However, even if the founders were Germanic, and even if the patrician class had strict class inbreeding rules, it's incredibly likely that they were thoroughly mixed with the natives of Italy by the time of the Roman Empire.

My definition would have to exclude brown people, so it would exclude a lot of greeks if what you're saying is right, but it would include alot of greeks and other mediterraneans as well, because I've seen plenty who aren't brown.

If I had a map of whiteness, with the color white as the key for white people and black for any and all non-whites, then the mediterranean including the levant would be black and white stripes I guess. So mediterraneans as a whole aren't white no

I'm australian, nearly all white people here are anglo-celtic and there's plenty of british and irish tourists. We just don't have the pigment in our body to get a tan like that. Some people can go pretty dark, but they can't get that golden baby poo color

Sure you can, If your system allowed you guys to take a month of work and have the mindset that makes you believe you wont be able to feel the sun on your skin for the next 8 months then you would've tanned like crazy. But you arent tanning like crazy, because the sun exist year around

>spaniards

Here's something that puzzles me still. What are modern spanish and portuguese people genetically/phenotypically speaking? I'm not a genius at this so I'll be blunt: how much of the modern spanish and portuguese gene pool is gothic and how much still retains the pre-medieval celtiberian genes? Did the celtiberian gene even survive the roman and later gothic and moorish/arabic invasions?
Because in this case, greeks and italians (and what pre-medieval balkanic natives remain aka non-slavs) may be the last remnants of the actual mediterranean folks from antiquity, since spaniards would be descendants to a germanic tribe.

Pic unrelated, but feel free to spam this bait thread.
>>
>>1370525
also, the English tried to conquer parts of the Spanish Colonial empire in the Americas many times, it often ended with the Spaniards and locals waiting in their fortresses until the English soldiers begun to die of tropical diseases en masse.
They just arent made for hot weather.

>>1370531
I'm confused as to what you're claiming. In my waay back original post I was saying the Romans considered the Germans to the north to be too pale, tall, etc. I wasn't even talking about nordics so I'm confused as to why you posted Swedish girls as a counter example, especially if you're saying Mediterraneans are vaguely nordic in the first place like what the fuck.

Eat well, pupper.

There weren't enough Goths to make a serious dent in the Spanish population. The Muslims are a bit more complicated, since Muslims aren't permitted to marry gentiles the two groups mostly kept to themselves as there was also a whole lot of resentment about the occupation. After the reconquista all Muslims were expelled from Spain or just straight up murdered so if there were any Spaniards that converted to Islam and shacked up with the invading moors they didn't get a chance to leave a genetic legacy.

All the Mediterranean people look different though so you shouldn't expect uniformity between any of them.

A Ptolemaic region of Egypt controlled by the Roman empire but whatever, the pompeii portraits are much the same.
>>
>>1370545

some of us can get that golden baby poo color, but only blonds. The sun gets very strong here, lots of people work out doors, lots of people don't work, but just like we'll never be the color of indians we'll never acheive that nordic tan. Our skin isn't resilient enough and will just go ruddy, freckly and ruined
>>
>>1370550
Goths and moors were extremely small in numbers compared to the already existing population. Romans were probably more numerous compared to this two groups since we have evidence of a lot of veteran colonies, but they were also probably small compared to the local population.

>you're saying that Spain and Portugal, the countries where the Pope had to split the world east and west for these two countries to share aren't white


There is no denying that Italy and Greece made several contributions to the arts and sciences, but Spain and Portugal are trash compared to the Anglo Saxon world and the Greeks/Romans.

Even the few writers they like to boast off are not that very good. Camões, Lope de Vega and Calderón are all inferior in poetry to Shakespeare, Homer, Milton and Homer (and frankly, to many other poets too), and even Dom Quixote is not that great of a work (I stand with Nabokov when he says it is a “A cruel and crude old book.”.

But if we step outside the realm of arts and into sciences Portugal and Spain are even more pathetic. How can two countries were civilization is very old, countries who were, after all, in Europe, and that were modern during the great explosion of scientific contributions made by Germany, England and France: how can those two countries be incapable of producing anything of worth when it comes down to scientific achievements?

It’s a sad and sorry sight. No wonder there is such a huge difference between countries colonized by Anglo Saxons and countries colonized by filthy Iberians.

Like the rabbit changes coat, so the Swede changes skin.

In high latitudes, winter can see only minutes of sunshine a day, necessitating light skin to produce vitamin d, while in the summer, the sun shines nonstop, so that a dark tan becomes very necessary. This drove the selection of Nordic people.

Folk tale and legend generally springs from historical truth, and as far as dates are concerned, 753 bc and 900 bc are well within a believable margin of error. I'm not saying everything of Legendary Rome was fact, just that we shouldn't discount the greater themes in the story, especially when they line up well with evidence, such as the date you just gave.

Romans as invading conquerors makes sense, considering their language differences from contemporaries, their use of caste, and their stated history.
