Your DNA Story Matches: Imperial Roman

A 2019 study in Science by Antonio and colleagues analyzed ancient genomes from roughly 127 individuals spanning 12,000 years of Rome's history, and found the city's population shifted dramatically over time. During the Imperial period, Rome drew significant ancestry from the Eastern Mediterranean and Near East — reflecting a metropolis built on migration and empire, not a fixed bloodline. Your answers landed closest to the profile associated with this population.
