According to Butthurt snowniggers they were pure aryans because their aryan meme doesn't work if they admit their ancestors lived in mud huts.

Look at there statues
They have normal sized noses (cancels out frogs and Italians)
And curly hair
Thus British people or North Africans

Never mind all the foreign armies marching across or stronger peoples settling in Italy, the Roman Empire had a policy of relocating poor Romans to farmland in the provinces while inviting in craftsmen, soldiers and rich people from all across the empire to live in Rome. The people who populated Rome by the fall of the western Roman Empire weren't even the same as the Romans of the republican era and modern Italians are hardly going to be more like the ancient Romans than the old Romans were.

>>58986903
Well, you can find roman resembling people probably in Italy more than everywhere else.
Of course people move, change, so you can find a lot of Italians whose look was not common in ancient Italy, you know, all those rapebabies memes, still the ethnic core is the same as 2000 years ago.

Actually Brazil.
Romans were mixed as fuck, probably even more than we are.

>The mixed character of the population of the capital is attested
I)y many ancient authors. We can hardly imagine the extent of the
admixture; only Constantinople, the most cosmopolitan city of the
world, can give us an idea of it. CICERO calls Rome a city created
by the confluence of the nations, four centuries later the emperor
CONSTANTIUS wondered at the haste with which all the peoples flowed
together to Rome. LUCAN, the poet and friend of NERO, says that
Rome was populated not by its own citizens but by the scum of the
world. The Oriental element seems to have been very conspicuous.
A famous passage in JUVEXAL states that the poet cannot like this
Graecised Rome, but th& the least part of the scum is composed of
Greeks: the Syrian Oroiites has flowed into the Tiber, with foreign
languages and foreign manners.

But if you are talking about the original romans, pure blood romans, then italians

Iberian OFC.
at some point 70% of the roman army was made of iberians.
We and ethnic italians have basically the same ancestors .
We just live in a different peninsula .
