>>4289998According to Carleton Coon, the Keltic Nordids migrated out of Southwestern Germany into Northern Italy during a period of Celtic migration. What I don't understand is the continued denial of their provably Germanic features and factors as affirmed by Gunther (1927), His (1866, a Swiss anthropologis), Rochat, who stated that the Roman type was essentially Nordic, Sieglin, who in 1935 verified the phenotypic-Germanic origins of the name Flavi and Rufti (Blonde hair, Red hair, includes their derivatives), the name Caeser meaning blue-eyed, derivatives, Plutarch and Suetonius describing several emperors precisely as blonde and with blue eyes (such as Nero and Augustus), so on so forth. The typological/etymological evidence is generally enough to concur that the Roman type was essentially Nordic. Also, the notion that the Scandinavians and Germanics were not relevant in their urheimat of Northern Europe until the Middle Ages simply is not true. Note, for example, Arminius, the Nordic Bronze Age (in which an ability to utilize complex artistic and technical processes the Mediterranean world could not match, as seen with the Trundholm Chariot), the Amber Road, and the Volkerwanderung. Rome had to establish a massive defensive network to halt Saxon raids.
