However, there must have been a pretty large group of colons from Italy, thanks to whom the whole Iberia (with the exception of the Vascongadas and one part of Navarre) today speaks Romance idioms. They must have contributed to the Iberian ethnogenesis.
No, I don't think so. Roman conquests were military and not colonization ones. No "large" group of colons ever established in the colonies, at best some traders and a mere roman nomenclatura, anything but "large".
