    Among Italics only the Romans ever amounted to much. The Sabellian or Samnites aren't particularly more impressive than the Celtiberians.
    Contact with the Greeks played a huge part certainly but there's more to it.

        Yes and once they were integrated into the empire the iberians also had emperors and stuff.
        But by themselves they didn't amount to much.
        Etruscans are a special case, them and the greeks is what gave Rome a headstart

            Why would we trust them on anything beyond their immediate past? Herodotus thought that an inscription left by an Anatolian bronze age kingdom that neighbour his homeland was actually left by an Egyptian pharaoh, if he didn't have a clue about the history of his own lands, why would he know about lands located hundreds and hundreds of miles from his own?

            Thucydides says Sicani came from Iberia and we found some R1b-DF27 among them. Ancients are trustworthy.

        >A 2021 genetic study published in the journal Science Advances analyzed the autosomal DNA of 48 Iron Age individuals from Tuscany and Lazio and confirmed that the Etruscan individuals displayed the ancestral component Steppe in the same percentages as found in the previously analyzed Iron Age Latins, and that the Etruscans' DNA completely lacks a signal of recent admixture with Anatolia or the Eastern Mediterranean, concluding that the Etruscans were autochthonous and they had a genetic profile similar to their Latin neighbors. Both Etruscans and Latins joined firmly the European cluster, 75% of the Etruscan male individuals were found to belong to haplogroup R1b, especially R1b-P312 and its derivative R1b-L2 whose direct ancestor is R1b-U152, while the most common mitochondrial DNA haplogroup among the Etruscans was H.[32]

          Iberian blood was diluted in them, but some lineages were preserved.
          This is similar to what happened to Hungarians. By your logic Hungarians are Slavs and never had Uralic elites.

            Non sense. They had more East Med blood than West Med blood, those lineages weren't prevalent in the slightest. Yes, Sicily is in the Middle of the Mediterranean so it got migrations from all over it, the fact that they got (possibly) a small migrations from Iberia doesn't mean anything. Most other stuff they got wrong: Georgians coming from Egypt, Phoenicians from the Red Sea, a broken clock can be right once a day, but in this case we can't even say they were right, since these Sicani got DNA from all over the place, and this lineage was probably not just in Iberia but in other Bell Beaker Mediterranean contexts, we have very few samples after all

            Huge cope. Etruscans came from the Alps like the other Tyrrhenians and have a long proven native development record there.

            There is absolutely zero evidence of linguistic or cultural transfer from the East, but there is ample evidence that the Tyrrhenians can be identified with the "Sea Peoples".

            Therefore any cultural similarities is due to Europeans raping the locals in the Levant and leaving traces of their culture there during the Bronze age collapse.

            This would make sense as the Vinca symbols which looks similar to proto-Latin/Italic scripts predate the Phoenician alphabet by 3000 years and the latter looks nothing like Cuneiform so they almost certainly got it from Sea People rape.

Formally, they can be modeled as a two-way mixture of the preceding Imperial individuals and 38 to 41% ancestry from a late Imperial period individual from Bavaria
            >Regarding the last temporal interval of our ancient genomic transect (500 to 1000 CE), we observe that individuals grouped in the “C.Italy_Early.Medieval” cluster are generally shifted toward central European groups compared to C.Italy_Imperial and largely overlap with present-day populations from central Italy (TSI.SG) (Fig. 5A) (30). Using f4-tests, we can show that this transition is confirmed by a reduced affinity of C.Italy_Early.Medieval toward eastern Mediterranean populations compared to C.Italy_Imperial (table S2D). Moreover, the C.Italy_Early.Medieval cluster can be modeled successfully in qpAdm as a mixture between the preceding C.Italy_Imperial group and Late Antique or Medieval groups from northern and eastern Europe (among the 59 populations tested) in estimated proportions of 60 to 90% and 10 to 40%, respectively (table S4E).

            Myceneans =/= Hellenic Greeks.

            Europeans have nothing in common with middle easters except for genociding them and raping the local slaves that were left.

            Any trace of similarity in modern MENA to European peoples is due to centuries for Greco-Romano-Frankish rape.

    Well the Turdetani weren't doing too bad...

    6 There are exported from Turdetania large quantities of grain and wine, and also olive oil, not only in large quantities, but also of best quality. And further, wax, honey, and pitch are exported from there, and large quantities of kermes,27 and ruddle28 which is not inferior to the Sinopian earth. And they build up their ships there out of native timber; and they have salt quarries in their country, and not a few streams of salt water; and not unimportant, either, is the fish-salting industry that is carried on, not only from this county,º but also from the rest of the seaboard outside the Pillars; and the product is not inferior to that of the Pontus."

    "The ferrets with their claws drag outside all the rabbits they catch, or else force them to flee into the open, where men, stationed at the hole, catch them as they are driven out. The abundance of the exports of Turdetania is indicated by the size and the number of the ships; for merchantmen of the greatest size sail from this country to Dicaearchia, and to Ostia, the seaport of Rome; and their number very nearly rivals that of the Libyan ships."

    "Formerly much cloth came from Turdetania, but now, wool, rather of the raven-black sort.29 And it is surpassingly beautiful; at all events, the rams are bought for breeding purposes at a talent apiece. Surpassing, too, are the delicate fabrics which are woven by the people of Salacia"

    "Along with the happy lot of their country, the qualities of both gentleness and civility have come to the Turdetanians; and to the Celtic peoples, too, on account of their being neighbours to the Turdetanians, as Polybius has said, or else on account of their kinship"

    >Why did Italics achieve so much more than other west meds like ancient Iberians, despite their similar origins? Was it due to east med influence?
    No. Central Italy was not like Iberia, Greece or really anywhere else in the world. The peoples of Central Italy, from the Samnites, Sabines, Etruscans and Latins were all a increasingly urbanised and hyper warlike societies that continued a cycle of mass conscription of young men across the region for centuries. Some 20% of men in Central Italy by the Middle Republic were actively engaged in military serivce at all times. It was the Romans who won the contest in Central Italy and they went out exporting war to the rest of the world, but it could have easily been the Samnites who started moving into Southern Italy before their entanglements with Rome, which as soon as Rome won once and for all just picked up where they left off. Central Italian society was nothing like anywhere else in the world. Even Nomadic societies had less military participation as compared to urban Central Italians, let alone the Iberians or anywhere in the Eastern Mediterranean. The only other comparable state in terms of military numbers was Carthage, which was helped by their very large amount of allies and the large military participation of Punic cities.

    Because Carthage, Etruria and Greece were the three most important Phoenician colonies. Iberia was used mostly for mining. It was less attractive because it was further away from Phoenicia and Asia in general.

    >Was it due to east med influence?

    It was due to Phoenician influence. That's where they got their languages from, and even the concept of a city.

    Once you understand Europe was colonized by Phoenicia like America was colonized by Europe, everything makes a lot more fricking sense.

    Of course there was also colonization from the east through the north. A lot of the local hunter gatherers and primitive agriculturalists and pastoralists were wiped out or buried in their mines by the Phoenicians. Greek Phoenicians especially preferred to import food from Egypt and other places.
