Help in Understanding my Haplogroup (R1b U152 + ?)

What exactly does my Haplogroup mean in regards to its origin? Im not sure if 23andme specified it beyond U152, but WEGENES has me at R1b1a1a2a1a2b

Is this a common Haplogroup for Italy?

South-Italy around Naples and Salerno?

Could I be descended from Celtic Slaves?

Can I get a map for my specific markers upstream as far as possible?

This is Maciamo's map of U-152.

Ya, I have seen all this before. I just did not know if there is a way to get more specific than U152, and determine if Im L2+ or not. Along with anything else way up stream, and some maps of all the R1b in Italy. I never can find any good R1b-U152 sub clad maps for Southern Italy.

Im taking about V49, v50, v142, ect.

It depends which haplogroup you're in but it's one of the most common Haplogroup in Italy.

Celtic Slaves? In Italy most of the U152 is likely Italic or Gaulish. Celts settled in most of North Italy and at some extent in other parts of Italy. Italics and Proto-Italics were anywere.

These maps were made by Anthrogenica's user Passa.

R1b-U152 and its subclades Z56, Z36, L2. Unfortunately, no map of Z192.

Z56 is considered Italic, Z36 Gaulish and L2 more continental Celtic or Italo-Celtic.
