[SlytherinAndyAsh]

i hear this song on the jazz station....

[SpadaccinoLuciano]

As usual, where'd you get the pictures? Especially ones that have him with a proper Olive skintone rather than that dreadful paleness? (No offense to white people)

[WackMackMormonMama]

First: I LOVE this song! I was SO happy when you used it for Grandpa Rome! Thank you SkadiPirate!

Second[and this will only makes sense to the poor souls in my latin class]: Rome will... BEAT THE WORLD!! Suck it.

[belblus]

Latin language FTW!! :O

[ChibiSilverWolf]

ew....i heard a diferent version of roman hystory at our latin class(i hate latin)

romulus and remus were raised by a shepherd after being found by him at the wolf.A few years later, after their grandfather returned to power, Romulus and Remus decided to found a city. However, a conflict began between the twins and the subsequent brawl Remus died. Beside the death part, all this story kind of reminds me of Romano and N. Italy and gradpa rome(Numitor)-my english sucks sorry)

[SkadiPirate2]

@ChibiSilverWolf Yep, as I mentioned it in my description, there are more versions. I just wrote the one down, I heard when I was little~

[moartrollz4dinner]

@ChibiSilverWolf

Wow, you hate Latin? I'm taking Latin and I just love it! Well maybe I love because I speak Italian and Spanish, so it comes naturally to me. And my dad speaks Spanish and Portuguese, then my mom speaks French and Romanian. And my sister speaks Spanish. But the main language in the family is English and that is technically considered a "Romance" language....

[ChibiSilverWolf]

@moartrollz4dinner oh i'm a romanian^^ so is a latin language

in my opinion latin is a dead language and i will never use it unless a country named Latinia or something like this will apear(thats a random joke in our class)

i also do french and greek and italian in school and i love them cause they're usefull.

when i studied in Moldova i learned russian in middle school. Even russian is usefull not like latin that no one speaks anymore.

wow you sure have a interesting family :)

[pyrohound13]

@ChibiSilverWolf Latin is highly useful for linguistics study, the sciences (especially biology)/medicine, English usage and mechanics, and learning other languages. personally, it's been one of the most useful classes I've ever taken.

I'm sorry that you don't enjoy your class, I wish you luck :)

[ChibiSilverWolf]

@pyrohound13 ") i guess you're right but i still find it wicked boring. maybe also because of the old boring teacher. sigh i feel like talking with tutankamun when he asks me to answer and he blabbers so much about how great rome was, and us(dacia) meanwhile were some barbarian bastards. sorry i just expressed my anger ^^

[pyrohound13]

@moartrollz4dinner English is not considered a Romance language; it's Germanic. It has been influenced by the Latin language greatly, there's no denying that, but it's roots are Germanic.

[Dzubur93]

@moartrollz4dinner i though english was west germanic

[IForgotMyLines]

Wait a minute...

Romulus=Rome

Remus= Romes close brother???

THIS MEANS SOMETHING

[Alicetimetable]

HETALIA, Y U MAKE ME CRY IN HISTORY?

[weasle1011]

[imhappilyinsane]

Grandpa Rome (And Germania)? One word. UNF.

[musicrules13fly]

2:53 was it me or did it look like rome had boobies? XD

[SkadiPirate2]

@musicrules13fly Haha, yes XD It's actually a picture of (a fan-made) Fem!Rome ;D

[musicrules13fly]

@SkadiPirate2 ooh ok no wonder :3

[AngelsNDevilsFTW]

@musicrules13fly I think that is Rome as a women o 3o... It's kind of hard to tell. I would guess that ones a women since the face and the curves ; u ;)b

[chishiowolf1]

@SkadiPirate2 all these songs are helping me with my english essay XD

[chishiowolf1]

Glad I took latin. I understood some. Great song.

[Kimmiko600]

[Hikarilastsolace]

[xMewWITCH112x]

wow I've never really heard Latin song beside religious music, awesome song + nice pics

[Innerrage2]

Guess who's singing this in Latin Class tomorrow?

[QuaerensPuella]

Splendido *O*

[XItalyChanX]

omg im taking Latin Class!! im showing my latin teacher this song! he couldnt find any good latin music online so now i can shove this kickarse music in his face :D

[WeAreTheRiot]

@XItalyChanX

Gradus Vita from the Hellsing soundtrack and Lilium from the Elfen Lied soundtrack. And, if you're tolerant of people's religion, you can try Roman Catholic chants (in Latin of course). Depending on what Latin it is (Old, Classical, Medieval, Renaissance, and Contemporary), it would sound wrong unless you got the Latin from the correct timeline.

Although I recommend Classical Latin, it's the Latin of the Roman Empire like Traditional Chinese is the Chinese of the Qing-Han.

[fan2cascada075]

Where did you find the last picture?

[SkadiPirate2]

@fan2cascada075 zerochan(dot)net :]

[fan2cascada075]

@SkadiPirate2 Thanks you ^^

[Frattaglia1]

[SkadiPirate2]

@Frattaglia1 zerochan(dot)net 8'D

[Frattaglia1]

@SkadiPirate2 I didn't fint it! :( zerochan has a lot of picture you used but I didn't see that at 3:12 LOL

[SkadiPirate2]

@Frattaglia1 Then maybe Photobucket~

[Frattaglia1]

@SkadiPirate2 thank you. I like thist character, maybe because I live in Rome XD

[Sillieranimal]

NO nelliesbff SkadiPirate's mine she's the only girl i know who is acculy culturaly active thats like my dream girl! Hello am from germany please to meet you accantince. Skady :)

[Sillieranimal]

OMFG i love this song so fucking awsome its like serious and epic at the same THIS SHOULD BE THE THEME SONG FOR HALO 4 MOTHER FUCKERS!

[ThisIsHowIDesappear]

I understand more in Latin than in English... so, I'm not German XD

[snowflakes98]

Instead of "murder between brothers" couldn't you have put, like, fratricide? (minus an r or two, I don't know how to spell it.) Anyway, I loved the vid and the song! :D

[Emura100]

@snowflakes98 not many people would know what fratricide is so essentially it is easier to put "murder between brothers" and save some explaining

[snowflakes98]

@Emura100 Makes sense. :) *watches again.*

[yuikominamoto15]

Romulus...dominus~~

[fan2cascada075]

2:42 excellent ^^

[fan2cascada075]

I love all the pictures

[fan2cascada075]

3:20 Yessss !!! I always knew! Holy Roman Empire is and has always been Germany ... But younger!

[fan2cascada075]

Good !!

[BonjourHetalia]

I actully used pictures of characters from hetalia for a project in my Rome class I used Grandpa Rome too!

[TheArtifaz]

"Romans go home" XDDDD

[youkokurama21]

what is name of a song?

[lilmissyblee1981]

Quick, someone get him a "Sexy Grandpa" hat

[Sasha101212]

@lilmissyblee1981 I'll ask my Grandpa... =D

[butterflyzero0]

@lilmissyblee1981 I'm sure he'd wear it too.

[minimeroxz1997]

I love the last pic! <3

[Sprounge]

Will you make a video for Germania too?

[Hinatachan121]

Cool! ^.^

[nelliesbff]

A song entirely in Latin that isn't being sung in a church... I FLIPPED SHIT.

Potero te ducere? (Can I marry you?)

[WackMackMormonMama]

@nelliesbff "ducere"? I admit I only took Latin for a couple years, but doesn't that mean 'to lead'...? Idk, I could be wrong. I'm just curious now, is all.

[Oh, and I flipped shit too! :p]

[lioncublove46]

I love how one of the suggestions is called

Grandpa Rome- IM NOT YO DADDY IM YO GRANDPA

[gialla111]

Just saying, I love the durp face on ChibiRomano at 0:40

[sweetblackblood1]

this song gave me goose pumps from overwhelming epicness!!!

[MontChevalier]

@sweetblackblood1 Nice song. *nods*

[LuxyHidaMori]

O.o S-Seriously?! R-Rome was founded..on my Birthday?! Awesome!

[Skunksivia]

im learning to speak and write Latin. I saw this video and I loved it! :3

[inuyakino]

first time I treat Grandpa rome as a rightful gentleman XD

[Lexadin]

Honestly I love the pic at 3:30. It reminds me of something that was mentioned in the series, that the final stike on Grandpa Rome was delivered by Germania/his close friend.

Which obviously revers to the Roman Empire being 'slain' by Germanic tribes. Which on itself also revers to the complex relation between the Roman Empire and Germania.

Ah, I love Hetalia and it's historically correct refernces.

[kaindrg]

@Lexadin they could have portrayed them wiht more tension in my opinion though it a anime so its for the cuteness no historicity :D

[kayer96]

@sweetblackblood1 That would be Germania.

[inuyakino]

YAY XD Latin is one of my fav

[sweetblackblood1]

who is the other guy the blond one with a braid with rome??

[Lexadin]

Awesome song and vid. Now we just need one of Germania.

[LuciferDoll]

2:43, love it! XD

It remember me when I said to my boyfriend: "you do latin at school! So, please explain me this: what is declensions?"(I'm from Italy and italian don't has declensions)...

after something like one hour I didn't understand it yet, so he told me "I studied latin about 8 or 9 years ago, and I've been rejected! How can I remember what is declensions?!?!? çOç " XD

[LuciferDoll]

Love the song, and love the video too!! Go Rome!! ^O^

[WolfieStarr]

Where'd you get the pic at 1:30?

[SkadiPirate2]

@WolfieStarr zerochan(dot)net :] Enter "Ancient Rome" and maybe add "Egypt" and there should it be :]

[xbouxix]

grandma Rome is smoking Hot

[BleachSmiles]

I love how they're speaking an ancient, dead language. :)

Keep up with the AWESOME songs, Skadi!!

[FreezingShock]

@BleachSmiles And mispronouncing it terribly >.> The C should be pronounced like the K, not the S. The V should sound similar to W. AE should be pronounced AYE. Additionally, they constantly put the emphasis on the wrong syllable..

[WeAreTheRiot]

@BleachSmiles

It's Contemporary Latin. If you want Ancient Latin, then look up Classical and/or Late Latin. Anything after that is not what the Romans speak, unless you are talking about Medieval Latin which the Papal States and their puppets alongside Byzantium seems to speak, then you can count that (Only because of Byzantium if you would consider them 'Roman Empire')

[BleachSmiles]

@WeAreTheRiot Thank you! I shall!! ^_^

[lilathecorgi]

School just started again for me, and I've just begun Latin. Being the obsessive Hetalia fan I am, I decided to watch a video in Grandpa Rome's honor. When I started watching I r realized that since you had the translation this is technically studying. (Which being the excitable nerd I am any ways I was going to start with after wards.) Yay, multitasking~!

[Mrsannabanana100]

@lilathecorgi

WAIT!!!

FANGIRL AND STUDY???

AT THE SAME TIME!!!!

OH MY GAH!!!!!

XD

[lilathecorgi]

@Mrsannabanana100 Thanks to Hetalia it can and will happen!

[WeAreTheRiot]

2:43

Rofl, Monty Python. Skadi earned a hooray from the Monty-verse.

Although, don't you think it would be better if the Latin lyrics be written in caps and U's being V's like Classical Latin? Or it wouldn't make much sense since this song is probably sung in Medieval, Renaissance, or Contemporary Latin? Thank goodness you didn't use Era though, not many know it's pseudo-Latin :D

[Ralex004]

Where'd you get all these pics?! I scoured deviantART, Zerochan, and Photobucket for some pics, but didn't find that many ><

[Pac1fic0]

Is that Egypt at 1:27?

[SkadiPirate2]

@Pac1fic0 Yes, it's Rome, Egypt on the right, China on the left and...uhh...baby-Greece, I think :'D

[Pac1fic0]

@SkadiPirate2 - Cool. Egypt must be also immortal like China. BTW, Skadi, your videos are awesome - keep it up!

[nakedirohtime007]

There needs to be more Roman Empire AMVs out there.....:( This is awesome btw;D

[18Annex]

2:51 GRANDMA Rome. :DDDD

[Jalice1718]

This song makes me feel powerful...

[ReCreso]

What a bad Latin XD But the video is great *A*

[dragonskaraka]

who is the blonde person with grandpa rome? O:

[SkadiPirate2]

@dragonskaraka Germania :] A man, btw XD

[kaindrg]

@dragonskaraka Germania reflecting the nordic scandanavian, central european who spoke a germanic language (yes technically including english even though we are 48% latin based due to invasion from latin based speaking ppl ) the rome relied on soo much near the later period of her history. unfortunately hiring shit loads of germanics tribes as mercenaries to defend boarders form them selves donest make quite as much sense and being too poor to pay them def didnt work in their favor

[palmtreehomonculus]

A well-deserved tribute to Grandpa Rome... *glomps Skadi and said Rome* This song is epic too...

Germania... your mom never told you not to write on trees?...

[guyvergoddess]

during the actuall founding of rome, Romulus was building a wall to keep out invaders. but remus said it was pointless and jumped over it to make a point. legend goes that the bad thoughts of the people building the wall (including Romulus) condesed in a rock, which magically flew and hit Remus in the head, killing him. (either that, or some one hit him with a shovel)

[SkadiPirate2]

@guyvergoddess Yeah, there are more versions. I just wrote down that one, which I've been told when I was younger.

[GNRandSTP911]

@SkadiPirate2 I was told that while Romulus was marking the boundaries of the wall, Remus leaped over the line and all magic protecting the boundaires was lost. Remus leapt over it because he wanted the wall somewhere else. So Romulus killed Remus out of spite.

[Sandkastenrockerin01]

@guyvergoddess there are many versions of the story. in one we had to translate in latin, romulus and remus didnt know whose name will be given to the new city, and who will reign it. they were fighting, and in the end, they did and auspice. remus saw 7 vultures first, and romulus saw 13 vultures. they fought again; remus saw them first, but romulus saw more! they fought and fought, until romulus killed remus.

[LaviaChan]

Nice video :) Great song :D

[Southenisland]

ZOMKami Monty Python reference XD~~~

[PaulieRomanov]

Romans are better than Celts

[palmtreehomonculus]

@PaulieRomanov They are just different - and without one or the other, probably that western europe would not be what it is.

[puddlemonster84]

0:41 romano looks like he thinks rome has cooties or somthing

[Germtalia]

yum pic 3:05

[RussianlLollypop]

hearing that word "Maximus" always reminds me of that one movie....

[Kizuichi]

This is by far the BEST video of Rome, ever. <3

[Fallingicystars]

Love the song and the pictures :) 

[rennasakura]

lots of them has Germania in it xD but anyway, Grandpa Rome was so cool

[AnimePirateX]

Excuse-moi, but who is the artist in the song?

[jovel97muzik]

wOw epicness! love the vid!

[sarandeir]

I loves being a Latin Nerd :3 this is an awesome song~!!

[aliismybff]

Wow, I'm amazed you know all this stuff! Do you have a major in every type of history? :3 LOVE THIS!!! (Very helpful for an essay I have to do as well XD)

[LeahR18]

Granpa Rome is so sexy!!! ~♥

[lehoangphuonguyen]

Music so EPICCCCCCCCCCCC!!

Pictures're so cute (I mean pics about Romajii chan with N&SItaly) , can you share them????

[Whitecherry212]

The one person that disliked this was Germania.

[alleswisser159]

That translation isnt really wrong... but weird o.O; Somehow the words literally fit the latin words but sometimes there are many meanings and a weird/not fitting one was put in...

Yes i had Latin. and i hated it.

[vampiremidnighter13]

love that pic at the end, rome watching as north and south italy run off happily, it's cute but slightly sad at the same time

[NekoJazzie]

LOVE it~!

[doubletake91]

i want this man as my grandfather

[Cvocaloid]

I HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS HAPPY TO ACTUALLY HAVE A LATIN TEST TOMORROW :D Latin FTW if Grandpa Rome speaks it xDDD

[octavaluna]

bravo skadi, just bravo!!

[ChatMonsieur]

AHHHHH, Germania!! :DDD *fangirl squeel*

[zatiopa]

that's was very hard, but ...good job ;)

[rosedrop13]

FUCK YEA! I LOVE THIS SONG! XD

Never knew it was about Ancient Rome tho... AWESOME! XD

[BleachKiki]

Are you gonna do one just for romano like you did with veniziano?~

[DarkestElemental616]

Ooh, Lesiem. :D Also, in class we -did- speak it, and added new words. My teacher taught us to ask how to go places, hold conversations, and say "Don't taze me, bro!" (Noli me tasere, fra!)

I was wondering if perhaps I could help smooth out the translation, because as it is it sounds very much like random words instead of sentences, but I'm unsure if this was the intention of the artist or not...and I'm pretty sure some of the words have been mistranslated. :/

[SkadiPirate2]

@DarkestElemental616 Yes, the song consists mainly of nouns, so it's not ~that~ grammatically correct. :'D

[XxAdmiralxThowraxX]

@DarkestElemental616 Maclay School had T-Shirts with the, "Don't taze me, bro," phrase on it.

They were bright Orange and such.

[DarkestElemental616]

@XxAdmiralxThowraxX Your school is made of awesome. Can I have one?

[xolilcutixo]

I love this... but it's reminding me of Julius Caesar (the play) and that I have finals.

... I really should be studying right now.

[Narukyomo]

0:25 ... Matt Smith much?

[EastNightwish]

Was für ein tolles Lied! Ich dachte erst, es wäre von E Nomine(habe beim Anfang die Seite etwas runter gescrolled). Und die meisten Bilder passen sehr schön dazu. Vielleicht hättest du die ein oder andere Erklätung etwas länger dastehen lassen können. Naja, man kann ja Pause im Video drücken ;)

Ein Video aus deiner Reihe, dass ich meinen persönlicher Favoriten dieser Hetalia-Charakterreihe hinzufüge. Großes Kompliment!

PS: Ich dachte, ich schreib diesmal deutsch. XD

[DunkleMaterie117]

3:06 - My first time seeing a Germania Nyotalia-version.

Poor woman. Looks annoyed. ^^

[SkadiPirate2]

@DunkleMaterie117 Oh, I actually think it's not a Fem!Germania version :'D He looks very girly in general, I think :']

[DunkleMaterie117]

@SkadiPirate2 Hmmm, just look at their size difference. Germania was tall as Rome, when not bigger, cause Germany is higher grown than Italy. But now Rome is bigger the face of "Germania" looks a bit more girly as usual, blushing, a bit small hand and the armor looks like shaped for a woman as well.

Cannot say he/she is wearing a skirt, cause the original and male part Germania does it as well, but I think its the female version, even with the muscular arms, since thats 'ancient' nordic style.

[SkadiPirate2]

@DunkleMaterie117 I actually think that's the art-style of that artist; I think the name is Saikare!? I've seen a few pictures/Doujinshis by them & the characters are always looking very girly (blushing, long eyelashes,etc) :] I just looked at that picture again on my PC ('cause in the video it's rather small) & yes, Germania has a -very- girly face. But I think Germania looks smaller here, 'cause s/he's not standing straight :]

I think we will only know the truth if the artist would tell us ;D
