Other than the mythological Geniussa (said to be a daughter of Claudius')
(and please don't hijack my thread to talk about HER!), are there any medieval
lines with at least a hint of authenticity, that trace back to Rome under the
first 12 or so Emperors?

The attempt to answer this question affirmatively is the whole point, (as I
understand it), of Ch. Settipani's Magnum Opus, (actually most of his works
are gem-packed magni opi), _Continuité_.

PS They actually provide possibilities to the time of the kings.

Re: Medieval Lines to Empiric Rome - who was the Mediterrane
I wouldn't know the lineage - but four miles outside of the very ancient
city of York, in Yorkshire, was a little hamlet called Kirkfenton, and there
a Thompson family lived. A branch of them still lived there in the early
19th century. Their lineage would be fascinating.
They were apparently prosperous farmers. They became Quakers, and left for
Ireland in 1658. A generation later they brought fine furniture, books
and a servant to West New Jersey, where they built a fine stone house, and
founded the Quaker meeting there.
They got to West New Jersey in 1677, and a generation later a member of this
family settled in southeastern Chester County, Pennsylvania (actually
adjacent northern Delaware, but their meeting was in Chester County).
There they belonged to a tightly inbred little group of three families.
You know what half of all ancient Romans looked like in half of all
surviving artwork from ancient Rome that depicts people. Skinny, rangy
looking people with distinctive triangular stick-out ears, dark skin, and
dark brown hair. And of course they would have had alot of body hair, to
go with the Mediterranean appearance.
Large numbers of Romans were settled in Yorkshire in teh time of Hadrian's
wall, as soldiers offered land as compensation for their service.
Everyone who held land in Yorkshire at the time of the Norman conquest
pretty much held it right through medieval times. The Danes who previously
held the area were small landowners, and it was too far from London for the
Normans to successfully mess with them. Eventually these free small
landowners of northern England, with their tradition of independence,
disproportionately contributed to the Protestant movements.
Unless they were going into the city of York to find spouses, people in
Kirkfenton must have been very inbred during medieval times, because it was
a tiny place.
All Thompson descendants to this day are skinny, rangy looking people with
dark brown hair, copious dark body hair and distinctive stick-out triangular
ears. The stickout triangular ears weakened with succeeding not inbred
generations, but my father had enough of the trait to be recognizable, and
so did his father before him. His father's mother was the Thompson who
married out of her meeting and her inbred family group.
Doctors keep asking me who was my Mediterranean ancestor. LOL!
