Just a reminder that there is 0 proof for this. The material culture found at early Roman sites points to an Etruscan origin.
>>18246354and?
>>18246354What are you arguing about exactly?Rome is known first and foremost as the product of Latin speakers because that's what we have evidence of them speaking. Italic languages took over the peninsula after Bell Beakers arrived.Is there some reason you want to associate Rome with Etruscans and their language? I don't get it. Surely you have more to say than just provocative statements that contradict conventional wisdom.
>>18246364Rome was founded in Latium, but it was not founded by Latins.
>>18246354Etruscans belonged to the Villanovan culture.
>>18246364>Italic languages took over the peninsula after Bell Beakers arrived.Italics came with the Urnfield culture and replaced the Apennine culture.
>>18246365>Rome was founded in Latium, but it was not founded by Latins.The Romans would be shocked to learn of your theory, shocked.
>Etruscan trying to rob latin achievementsReminded the Etruscans got folded by rome even before rome was an empire.

>>18246354>>18246363Aegeans and Numidians helped the Etruscans win over Carthage.
>>18246354Wasn't the first triumph held by the Romans celebrating a victory over Latins?
>>18247753Yes.>Roman etymologists thought that the soldiers' chant of triumpe was a borrowing via Etruscan of the Greek thriambus (θρίαμβος), cried out by satyrs and other attendants in Dionysian and Bacchic processions.>Like much in Roman culture, elements of the triumph were based on Etruscan and Greek precursors; in particular, the purple, embroidered toga picta worn by the triumphal general was thought to be derived from the royal toga of Rome's Etruscan kings.
>>18247761I'm curious then, where does the idea that the Romans were actually Latin come from? I've not heard it before and if Rome's own history disagrees with it who is saying it? Is it some phenoposting stuff I'm not aware of?
Estruscans were colonized by Greeks and Latin is a fabricated pidgin lingua franca that arose for administrative and religious purposes across colonized western europe. The more you know
>>18248192It would be quite unusual for a city of Latin speakers, situated among other Latins, to not be Latin. The fact that this isn’t the case opens the door to fascinating possibilities.
>>18246354I always knew it, Latins were simply too subhuman and nigger tier to ever develop civilization. No way a group that kept getting dominated, buck broken, and cummed in the bussy by invaders founded Roma.
Correct, it was founded by nordics. Latinx and Etruscans were the cannon fodder and middle caste and east medjeets were the shudras.
