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.
