Wasn't he a Nubian? We had a thread about it

1st century Nubian mercenary genome from Serbia (Roman Empire)

A new ancient genome study. It was focused on Serbia, but a Nubian mercenary was detected. He clusters near modern Nubians and North Sudanese Arabs. He carried haplogroup E-V32 (common in Somalis). Can we please stop this false meme that before Islam Nubians and North Sudan were like Dinkas...

This was discussed before, most likely someone who was from an affluent family. The study suggests he didn't grow up in the Roman empire due to his dietary habits during early childhood.

I personally would rule out him being a slave or solider, he was either a merchant or a rich foreigner just traveling through the empire. He was buried with luxurious artifacts.

I do not, I wasn't aware the datasets were public. the ID for the sample is I15499. Maybe you can get the coords by emailing people who did the study?
