Complexion of ancient Romans
Self-depictions in ancient Roman artwork show a range of European phenotypes, which includes some people with lighter complexions — no different to present-day Italy.
We find similar phenotypes represented in the artwork of the Etruscans, who were, more or less, genetically identical to the Italics; although, they spoke an EEF language and were culturally non-Indo-European.
