mtDNA haplogroup
h
Does anyone know what or Y DNA haplogroup, the ancient Romans belonged to?

thanks
 
My guess is that they had a lot of haplogroups, including E1b1b, J1, J2, R1b, I1, I2, G2, and T.

I tend to agree here. From the historical records, they seem a 'mixed' bunch as is the case with the Norman invasion force of 1066.

The Romans certainly would not belong to one, monolithic haplogroup. I note the inclusion of I1 above, and I bet that was a minimal clade. The I2 you mention I can see as I2a2 and I2a1 but I imagine there would only be minimal I2b1.
