🧵Exploring the genetics of the Peloponnese: Roman Peloponnesian (41.9%-62.0%), Medieval Albanian (20.3%-37.9%), and Slavic (13.8%-28.8%) ancestries. Modern data is sourced from Stamatoyannopoulos et al. (2017), while Roman Peloponnese samples are from Psonis et al. (2025).


















Directly Inspired by @ObliterVict I made a genetic map of the Peloponnese, specifically using Postmedieval Albanian samples that existed around the time that the Arvanites settled into Greece #qpAdm #Greece #Albania #DNA #History Models: pastebin.com/vPE0RMyx


Who saved Modern Greece? Let’s see what Leontios K. Leontios tells us.-To Brothers, 1897), рр. 45-47. ‘Yes! I am the barbarian Albania (Illyria); but at the same time the mother of Skoufas and of Kountouriotis, of Botsaris and of Miaoulis, of Karaiskakis and of Sachouris….




@IllyrianJ2bL283 Albanians cluster closely with mainland Greeks because they mixed much less with Slavs, similar to the Greeks. As a result, they retained a higher proportion of paleo-Balkan DNA. Slavic ancestry is estimated at roughly 10–20% in Albanians and 5–15% in Greeks, compared to 30–50%.


Here are even better models, this sample literally passes 1 to 1 with Croatia romans. Mbuti.DG, Hungary_C_Balaton_Lasinja.AG, Iran_TepeGuran_N.SG, Turkey_Central_CamlibelTarlasi_C.AG, Serbia_IronGates_Mesolithic.AG, Russia_YOO_Meso.SG You mean to tell me that this was artificially formed, rather than the fact that these roman balkan profiles existed in this region due to geographic proximity?



















Stobi was a significant ancient city in what is now North Macedonia, located at the crossroads of two important trade routes. Originally founded by the Paionians, Stobi was later incorporated into the Roman Empire and served as the capital of the Roman province of Macedonia Salutaris. Its location led the city to develop into a thriving commercial center and a significant religious site, especially during the early Christian era. Archaeological Finds: The city contains numerous significant finds, including: • A large Roman theater dating to the 2nd century AD. • Several basilicas, including the Episcopal Basilica, which is decorated with magnificent mosaics, indicating the city's importance as an early Christian center. • Remains of houses of the wealthy upper class with elaborate mosaics and frescoes. • Tombs with interesting inscriptions. Inscriptions such as “Arbroi” and “Albanoi” were discovered on some graves, indicating the presence of the Albanoi, a tribe considered the forerunner of modern-day Albanians. These finds shed new light on the ethnic diversity and presence of the Albanoi in the region, indicating the historical intertwining of peoples in the ancient Balkans. Decay and Abandonment: Stobi was badly hit by earthquakes in the 5th and 6th centuries and was eventually abandoned in Byzantine times. The town fell into oblivion until archaeological excavations in the 19th century began to bring its history back to light. Stobi remains one of the most significant archaeological sites in North Macedonia, and the discoveries, including the “Arbroi” and “Albanoi” inscriptions, add to the complex ethnic and cultural history of the region. wmf.org/project/stobi #ref476168" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">britannica.com/place/Albania/…
