Medieval Romans

Description
The Roman culture didn't magically disappear overnight. The Eastern Empire retook control of Romagna in 540 and held it, under local (western) Roman governorship, until the Lombard invasion of the 8th century. The Campania region remained largely unaffected by the cultural shifts of central Italy.

This mod restores the Roman culture to the Duchy of Latium and the County of Napoli (slowly being assimilated by neighboring cultures in the later start dates). Roman innovations closely match those of the Italian culture.

Ethnicities have been expanded to approximate the population distribution of the Late Imperial Era.

Names have been reworked to take into consideration the popularity & rarity of certain names. Dynasty & House names have been modified to mimic real-world historical Roman naming conventions.

This is my first mod. I welcome your feedback!

@grandadmiraljello, I had considered using Italian-ized forms of the classical Latin Trinomina... but the name list ultimately ended up looking almost identical to the default Italian name list, so I decided against it.

Recommend using actual early medieval Italian names, which still had a Latin/Roman flavor but were very different from classical Roman, and had some Gothic and Byzantine influences.

Here's a source to get you started: https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctv512x7n.19?seq=1

This defunct mod also has some great period-accurate names for the "Romanesque" culture they tried to use, you could maybe consult the sources this mod used: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2223540088

ehh, while Roman law and identity survived in fragments (like in the Holy Roman Empire or the Byzantine East), the culture in Italy had already evolved into Italic/medieval Italian traditions by the CK3 era, after passing through Ostrogothic, Byzantine, and Lombard rule. it’s pretty distinct from the old Imperial Roman culture, even though the Byzantines still called themselves Romans
