Is the Central Italian component in Living DNA a good proxy for Roman ancestry?

Salento, I think your argument could be a verry good explanation, but I have now looked at the localities and only one (Dobriceni) is on the territory controlled by the Romans in Dacia. And anyway, England has been under Roman occupation for much longer than Dacia but I do not know that such locality name exist there. That's why I think that it would not be excluded that tribe of Celts borrowed from Dacia the way to call themselves before the Roman conquests.

You've probably already looked at it, but if someone else is curious:

... Kenneth Jackson concludes, based on later development of Welsh and Irish, that the name derives from the Proto-Celtic feminine adjective *boudīkā, "victorious", that in turn is derived from the Celtic word *boudā, "victory" (cf. Irish bua (Classical Irish buadh), Buaidheach, Welsh buddugoliaeth), and that the correct spelling of the name in Common Brittonic (the British Celtic language) is Boudica, pronounced Celtic pronunciation: [bɒʊˈdiːkaː]. ....

.... Thomas Browne claims that the Iceni got their name from the Iken, the old name for the River Ouse, where the Iceni were said to have originated. ...

Besides what I said before, now... the word buda, budă has a lot of meanings in Romanian. and his derivatives are many... Not being a specialist, this takes me with dizziness. :wtf:it's fantastic! Loool!
buda, budă : to oppose, to keep away, shack, hut (even in the form of budică), name of people, rivers, localities, lakes... etc. https://dexonline.ro/definitie/buda/expandat
Because I am not an expert in linguistics, I may be wrong. But apart from being purely coincidental .... maybe the similarities are drawn from a common linguistic background that remained because the Celts stayed quite long in the area of today Romania.
 
First - Hello to everybody, my first post on this forum :- )


Here are my results from Living (my ancestry is mainly from Eastern and Western Thrace and to a lesser extent the Eastern Balkan mountains near the Black Sea..all ethnic Bulgarians).


Complete - SubRegions:


East Balkans- 22.4%
West Balkans - 11%
Pannonia - 10.1%
Northeast Europe - 5.6%
Mordovia - 3%
Baltics- 2.4%
South Italy-12.9%
Tuscany-10.9%
North Italy-3.4%
Aegean-3.1%
Germanic-8.4%
Pastun-4.5%
Kurdish-2.3%
..................


Standard - Sub Regions:


East Balkans- 22.4%
West Balkans - 11%
Pannonia - 10.1%
Northeast Europe - 5.6%
South Italy-12.9%
Tuscany-10.9%
Germanic-8.4%
Europe Unassigned-11.9%
Pashtun-4.5%
World Unassigned-2.3%
............


Cautious - Regional (this is the lowest level in this mode):


Northeast Europe-related ancestry - 49.1%
Tuscany-related ancestry-32.1%
Europe unassigned-11.9%
Pashtun related ancestry- 4.5%
World unassigned- 2.3%


I got 43% Italy/Greece on Ancestry ( and "Southeastern Europeans Genetic Community" with 95% confidence )


FTDNA gave me 74% Southeast Europe


23and me --- 5% Italian .


My Bulgarian matches on 23andme with 4 Bulgarian GrParents score between 2% and 14% Italian . My Greek matches with 4 Greek GrParents score between 3% and 43.3% Italian .

Nice. I haven't seen any other Balkan peoples beside myself and another Albanian and one Greek. Are you ethnic Bulgarian? Thats what I am assuming. Its nice to have another Balkan individuals percentages.

So far it seems Albanians have more Aegean ancestry. I get roughly 65 percent Aegean. Another Albanian I recall got similar. We only differed in the Balkan category. I got 7.5 West Balkan and they some percentage of East Balkan. Aegean seems to cover most of Albania and Greece. Though, I am uncertain what the exact references for each category are.

Results from the Balkans distributed in different forum posts.

Similarity with South Italy can be from common Greek ancestry.
Similarity with North Italy, not only Italic, but also East Germanics and Gauls/Celtic people.
Central Italy, mostly Romans, indeed.
SW Romania was occupied by Roman Empire, so higher clustering to Tuscany makes a lot of sense.

Lol, someone from SW Romania scoring 16.3% similarity to England and Wales.
Seems that Celts from Romania were related to Welsh Celts.

Indeed, it seems that Romania has the highest similarity to England and NW Europe in the Balkans. However, only three tests are few and those from LDNA are known to inflate the proportion of England.
Number 3 had a great-grandmother who was Austrian. Number 2 is mine with a lot of Balkans. Number one is from the eastern area of Romania, and in another test, that he made I think that with My Heritage, he has 90% Balkans... not 0%! So also the "Balkans", no matter what It mean, seems to be strong in Romania.

Oh cool. Have you posted your results? Not sure I have seen them. You should post it here. Maybe Gidai can add you to the list.
Hi Dibran! The sample that stands for ‘Albania south’ is just me :)
 
It does seem the dots are individualized. I am noticing our ancestors map for 500 years ago is different between us.
