Tenney Frank at Demography of the Roman Empire
There's a broader issue at Demography of the Roman Empire which you might be able to help with. It was and still is based only on Tenney Frank's 1916 paper Race Mixture in the Roman Empire. I corrected some details (columbaria aren't burials, and so on) and made Frank's stance more clear, but maybe that's not for the best. Any thoughts, ways forward?

 * My first thought is to check for anything relevant in A Companion to Ethnicity in the Ancient Mediterranean. There's also the possibility that one might just want to rewrite the whole thing because people now use archaeological remains to do this sort of thing instead of hoping beyond hope that names (a proxy) inscribed on tombs, graves, etc (expensive and selective) reflect actual population (not observed). Just by way of example, this PhD dissertation I found in like 20 seconds uses a variety of modern skeletal and dental methods to assess human mobility. https://cdr.lib.unc.edu/concern/dissertations/qn59q476k.

 * Thanks. It seems I have access to the Companion via the Wikipedia Library, so that can go on the list. Nice point about the selective nature of inscriptions. We do have Demography of the Roman Empire which has suffered a lot of edit-warring and is I think still based entirely on primary sources that don't pay much attention to whether their finds are representative - one of the questions I raised at Talk:Demography of the Roman Empire, unanswered as yet. That dental study looks very much like, may actually be the one, that was being used in some WP articles a few years ago to state that the great majority of the population of post-Republican Rome were ethnically Italian, based on dentition found in two cemeteries.
