What was the genetic makeup of ancient Rome when
the Roman Empire controlled the Mediterranean? A 2019 study from Standford University looked at
this question. Compared to the Iron Age/Republican period in Rome, the Imperial period shows
a clear shift to the eastern Mediterranean, with Rome’s genetic makeup being around 4%
North African, 40% Eastern Mediterranean, 28% Near Eastern, 4% European, and
24% Mediterranean. There is much more to story however. Check out my full
