What I am saying here doesn't imply that Greeks had influence on these Daunians. Rather I said the Pre-Italic people before them were possibly C6. I am talking about Puglia in general. The Greek colonists also had influence as well. We still need to see what they were like. You're saying the Romans replaced everyone with foreigners there, which is unsubstantiated. I think these people (Iapygian, Greeks, Pre-Italics, Italics) mixed together when the Romans brought control to the area. I am sure there was some influence from Imperial age Greeks and Eastern Mediterranean people as well (As they probably did in all of Italy, and beyond throughout the Roman empire), but I think this is over blown.
