@RodsAndAxes NO I am a Christian Orthodox.....I just know how to admit that the roman culture is a great one.....You probably dont have any kind of justice

[elinoulalikefairy]

@RodsAndAxes NO I am a CHRISTIAN ORTHODOX..../and I just know how to admire and RESPECT the culture of each counrty....You just seem to know nothin about the roman period so shut up.

@RodsAndAxes

apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system, and public health, they did nothing!

Do you really think it was possible to HEAR this weak music in a huge stadium like the colosseum??

[janedoe1026]

@neonenour89 Yes, due to the way a Colosseum was built and the acoustics in a way amplified the sound so the crowd could hear music or speeches and the such. Hope that helps. :)

[neonenour89]

@janedoe1026

may work..! :) but i don't think all the romans could stay quiet!! ahaha (I'm roman) :D

[nohavemercy]

Looks like 1 person watches Rebecca Black to much.

[cosmothechihuahuadog]

are there any lyrics?

[ZlorfikF17]

@cosmothechihuahuadog

If you know Latin, you should be able to get the lyrics from listening.

[ScipioAfricanusI]

This is very melodic. In what settings might this music have been performed? Also, where is there an archive of such music or other audio vestigaes of Roman culture?

Thank you for performing a useful service and adding beauty from the roman civilzation to our own.

[generalpatton3]

@ScipioAfricanusI

Music archive? I could PM you a download link with all of my ancient music on Dropbox that I have uploaded... Plenty of people ask for that, so I posted quite a while ago.

Setting? Most music was in the Pugnate album was performed in either private parties or in various stages of the Games. This one would fit into the former category.

[ahkoifish]

@generalpatton3 Could you send me the link to the ancient music too? =)

[neonenour89]

@ScipioAfricanusI

There is not any written roman music! the archeologists rebuilt the instrument and their sounds starting from frescoes.. so the music you are listening to is just "rebuilt"

[StevenJamesHumonen]

@neonenour89 Then this video is misleading. 

[rivercaesar]

ottimo

[gruffor]

This is so incredibly beautiful. Love it.

[AMRadioHits]

You know, after listening to most of these, I have to wonder: is there a modern bias in the making of the music, or does our music sound somewhat similar (in some genres) because of the use of similar modes and playing styles?

[Alucardthedeadone]

thank you

[yumna567]

It's absolutely breathtaking

[kellann55]
