Ive always thought it as this

Imperials - Romans

Khajit - Various Middle eastern merchants

Redguard - Some sort of north african people

Altmer - Greek (the only problem with that is the greeks were conquered by the romans)

Dark Elf - the sumerians or babalonian

Wood elf - Celts

Argonians - Scotish Celts (Picts)

Orcs - the Huns

Bretons - Not sure they are very intelligent so Greek possibly persian??
