Tatian was assyrian the same way anyone born anywhere within the Roman Empire, and who's family held citizenship, was a Roman. It didn't you became ethnically Italian,,,the term Roman didn't necessarily convey Italian descent...it meant you were born a Roman citizen....likewise Tatian was "Assyrian", as well as Roman, because he was born in the land of the ancient Assyrians...but he had nothing to do with the ancient Assyrians....just like a Roman, of actual Italian descent, whose parents moved to Gaul, or Spain before he was born, wasn't Spanish or Germanic for being born in "the land of....." but remained of Italian stock and derivation, no matter where he was "born".

If that was not the case than no assyrian, "born in the land of the Euro/Americans" could be assyrian...he would HAVE to of French/German/ Irish/Dutch/English ethnicity....because America was NEVER the "land of the ancient Assyrians"....but always the land of those other Euros...even though. strictly speaking the only ones who could actually be Americans, would be those Native Americans already here when the Euros came.

To be "born in the land of the ancient Assyrians" does NOT confer Assyrian ethnicity on anyone, Tatian especially...he was Roman, of Italian stock, not Assyrian.
