REMINDER: the Romans cremated their dead. Accurate genetic studies on Rome are not possible due to this. It wouldn't be odd for Romans to be mixed with Greeks, but the people in the first cluster are nearly 100% Greek/Anatolian, so foreigners are likely being overrepresented. The second one is probably more representative of what people like Caesar, Augustus, etc were like.
Cremation became more popular over time and standard practice in the late republic and early empire, tard. There was a preference for inhumation in the early republic.
