I could make an argument that everything that made Rome great was actually Etruscan in origin.
Congratulations on your ignorance of Indo-European cultural influence on Romans.
You'll have to explain what you mean here.Besides, after the Empire disintegrated, U152 descendants may have needed the protection of the Roman Church to survive.
Bronze Age migrations from the Middle and Upper Rhine through France and from France into Britain appear on the archaeological/archaeogenetic record. These were likely of a Proto-Celtic nature and connected with the spread of the Urnfield Culture from what I understand. This predated Hallstatt and La Tene.R-M269>R-L23>R-L51>R-P310>R-L151>

I am wondering if my results fit the mold of La Tene expansion. Globetrekker states my lineage crossed from Europe to Britain at about 1500-1400bc. Isn't that in the bronze age? Seems too early for La Tene Celtic, no? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
I highly doubt the male population was so catastrophically reduced and then left a vacuum to be filled with Roman-Italic Ydna. Italic Ydna is present in France in small numbers but easily outnumbered by native Gallic lineages found in ancient samples. Ancient Gallic autosomal dna is also similar to modern French with no significant difference.It's the Romans.
Julius Caesar speaks clear about the brutality and totality of the Roman wars on the Gauls in his memoirs.

Thank you, Robotnick. I knew it was way before the Romans. I do share DNA with VK40 (Sweden), VK138 (Denmark), and VK335 (Sweden). However, mrca is more than 1950bc. I've been trying to figure the coorilation between these three and my migration pattern which appears to enter Britain just east of Normandy.Bronze Age migrations from the Middle and Upper Rhine through France and from France into Britain appear on the archaeological/archaeogenetic record.

Roman generals were always incentivized to exaggerate enemy casualties for the purpose of fame and a certain bodycount was required for them to be awarded a Triumph.
