Due to its central geographical location in Southern Estaria, Romaia has historically been home to myriad peoples and cultures. In addition to the various ancient peoples dispersed throughout modern Romaia, the most predominant being the Indo-European Greek peoples, beginning from the Bronze Age, Greeks (Mycenaeans) established settlements in the Eastern Romaia, while Celts and Italics inhabited western and northern Romaia respectively. A Greek tribe known as the Dorians formed the Aistarian Union in the [century BC]. The Aistarian Union initially conquered and assimilated its neighbours on the Eastern and Northeastern Estaria, eventually expanding and conquering western and northern parts of Estaria. Romaia remained the homeland of the Greeks and the metropole of the empire, whose legacy can also be observed in the global distribution of culture, governments, and the Greek script.

Name

Romans or Rhomaioi (Ῥωμαῖοι; sg. Ῥωμαῖος Rhomaios) and Romioi (Ρωμιοί; sg. Ρωμιός Romios), is the name by which the Romaians are known since the Middle Ages. The name in antiquity originally signified the inhabitants of the city of Rome in Italy, but with the increasing Latin colonisation of Estaria, the Roman states granted Roman citizenship to the Hellenics of Estaria and other nations of their states, it soon lost its connection with the Latins.

Overall, the foreign borrowed name (Romans) initially had a more political than national meaning, which went hand in hand with the universalizing ideology of Christianity and Hellenic-Roman culture that aspired to encompass all nations of the world under one true God. Various ethnicities could apply their own ethnonyms or toponyms to disambiguate citizenship from genealogy, which is why the historian Procopius prefers to call the Romaians as Hellenized Romans, while other authors use Romhellenes and Graecoromans, aiming to indicate descent and citizenship simultaneously.
