I'm not sure what you mean by "romans inheritance". That they assimilated Romanitas, thus Europe?

Because if you are thinking of some "Roman" genetic component (whatever "Roman" may mean to you here), I don't see how one or two trading outposts could justify such a bizarre claim.

''belonging'' related to ''Diaspora identity'' such theories decribes colonialism and post-colonial , so in this case I think you can't use the terms '' belonging ''.
"Belonging" means just what it reads: "to belong to". A "sense of belonging" means that there is some common identity to which one feels related. Nothing to do with any "diaspora" or "colonialism".

belonging:

Main Entry: be·long·ing
Pronunciation: \-ˈlo˙ŋ-iŋ\
Function:
noun
Date:
1782

1 : possession —usually used in plural
2 : close or intimate relationship <a sense of belonging>

— be·long·ing·ness noun

Definition of belonging - Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary


You don't make sense. As usual.

Because Nordic does not have Diaspora identity as the Jews or the Palestinian, or even Spanish
For your information, there is a large Swedish diaspora which in terms of percentage of population it is larger than many others. I'm surprised that you ignore the recent history of your country.

You could start by searching a little information on the internet. Here is some help: "swedish diaspora" - Google Search

And for your information too, there is no such thing as a Spanish diaspora. In the context of the territories of Imperial Spain (not "Colonial", which is a different concept to that of "Imperial") you don't find the settlement pattern that you find in Oceania or in North America where, by the way, Nordic populations were used as part of the colonial settlement policies there.

But in case you wanted to argue that that was not Scandinavia's business, one early colonialist policy of settlements before that period was made effective by Scandinavians in Greenland.
