I was checking the study of samples in the Rome area since the Mesolithic until the Middle Ages.
Focusing concretely in the Iron Age/Roman Republic time period(the previous millenium of the turn to the Empire around the year 0).

Here you have which culture were they part of, as well as their haplogroups.

First in the Late Bronze Age, we have an U5.
Followed closely by a K1a.

Once you get to Latin culture, you have 4 samples.
2 of them are clearly people from the Nordic countries, since U4 and H2 haplogroups appeared in the Bronze Age in N(E) Europe. They both peak today in Sweden, Russia, Finland...
Then there's an H1 with an R1b haplogroup, which is something very average European, a Steppe male with a woman whose haplogroup started booming in Chalcolithic Europe. And finally a Y-Chromosome T with a T2c, both clearly from the Levant, which suggests a Phoenician trader(we don't know what was the relation between Latins and Punics).


Then there are 3 Etruscans, that in contrast with the 4 Latins, are classified as Roman Republic, we have to guess that these were the Etruscans that ruled Rome??... I don't know.

Anyway we have an U5a, which is the same haplogroup of the Late Bronze Age. I assume that this haplogroup was reinforced in numbers in the Chalcolithic, but mostly since the Early Bronze Age(5000-4000) by Steppe Farmers.
We see a striking resurgence of these haplogroups 4000 years after they were virtually exterminated by the incoming Agriculturalists. Remember, most R1 in the East was also U5, U4 and U2 until the Corded Ware expansion.

Also we have a T2b, which is clearly also a "IndoEuropean" haplogroup(brackets because the Etruscans kept the previous native European language).
Watching the Eupedia map of T2, peaks in N. Iran, it may have some CHG origin. Logical since T was in ancient times a West Asian haplogroup, but not as much as Latin(Phoenician) T2c, which stayed middleastener.

And finally we have an H... coupled with a J2. This J2 may be because that famous Eneas and his guard fleeing from a falling Troy.


Finally we have 2 samples from the Roman Republic. Both are R-P312 coupled with regular European H haplogroups that have been here since the Late Neolithic/Chalcolithic.
 
And finally we have an H... coupled with a J2. This J2 may be because that famous Eneas and his guard fleeing from a falling Troy..

There was no Eneas fleeing from a falling Troy, it is a fictitious story, devoid of evidence. The J2 you speak of is J2-L283, and the Etruscan one has matches in older samples from Croatia and Serbia.

Thanks for the Etruscan mtDNA samples, I was trying to give an explanation to the findings of the other 11, didn't know of this paper.
Are very different results, in mine says 1 is U5, 1 is T2 and 1 is H. While in the Etruscan paper is mostly H.

By the way, I don't even neccessarily think that the ancestor of the mythical founder lineage of Rome is J2, it's just a guessing that might come from Trojan refugees. Since there was a very specific J2(J2a-Z435) that seemed to expand from C. Italy all over Europe during Roman times.

Thanks for making that clear to that user. Next to the CSN004 Y-DNA J2b2a1 L283​>>Z615>Z597>Y15058>Z38240 there was also another Etruscan sample R474 Y-DNA J2b2a1 L283>>Z615>Z597>Y15058>Z38240>CTS6190>Y45181 J-Y45181 from the Antonio et. al. 2019 Ancient Rome paper https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aay6826

J2a was found in Neolithic Italy, in central-eastern Italy (Marche). Attributing J2a-Z435 presence in Europe to the Roman Empire seems to me the usual simplistic reading. Many J2 clades in Europe arrived there in prehistoric times.

Thank you, yes I know R474, it is what OP had posted.
