Rome (Jeff Beal)-- Niobe's Fate

The song Niobe's Fate, from the series Rome.

(I know I usually upload metal, but this series is brilliant, and I love this song. So melancholy.)

This song is also used in the ending of Season 2. It is mixed in with the song 'Triumph' when Attia watches Mark Antony's body being paraded by. An equally powerful scene I believe.

Oh, wow, is it? I don't think I even noticed that- I'll definitely have to listen for that next time. The whole series is so powerful emotionally, isn't it?

Tahnk you for this moving sad piece.I still cry when I think of the scene this was taken from.She didn't have to die.

[EldoraLuthiena]

I cry so hard at the end of Season 1. I mean, I know why she died, but... God, it was sad. ='(

[WiseGuy5674]

The most under rated series ever.

This entire show was absolutely mind blowing.

From the sets to the dialog to the story.

I'm glad HBO was able to make 2 seasons..its really all they needed.

It was, how ever, at the cost of 'Deadwood' which is another masterpiece.

[ReaIly]

Best track in the ST. It plays at the end of the S1. A beautiful ending.

@EldoraLuthiena Haha, No! Dark knight rules! *Runs away*

@prawnbutterfly Vorenus was furious.. if she didn't do it herself, he certainly would have.

[LeviathanoftheDanube]

A Rome movie is being made...or at least it has been written by Bruno Heller (confirmed) but hey are still looking for a studio and director I think. Supposedly starts with Vorenus and Pulo after they save Cesarean (Vorenus is not dead!) It's true! I would not joke about something so awesome :)

hurt her own son. Think of Octavia - she was able to do so though she may have suffered more from the decisions her mother made. Lastly - I think, Atia know she did mistakes. In the last episode, while having a meal with Livia and her mother, she is speaking to herself saying that Octavius was a "good boy" and that it was her fault that he became what he is. I know, she was very reckless (loved and hated her :-)). But it was that last scene during the parade...

harm her own children?). I guess everthing was meant to make Octavius "hard" as the sole male heir of her family. Even if she may have hurt him in doing so, I dont think she deserved that kind of treatment. It seemed like he took his vengeance in parading Antonius in front of her. That was simply cold blooded. There are always issues between parents and children and one should be able to forgive, even more, since he should know that Atia may have made mistakes but never delibertely would have...

@Lothiriel1

Atia a bitch. He is a short-tempered man. True, no exuse. But I guess you know that people happen to freak out. Long story short: I can understand Atia for being mad at him for financially ruining his family. As for Antonius, she felt lonely and sought his protection for the sake of her family. Very understandable human needs. In the upbringing of her children she probably made mistakes. But even then I guess, she just meant it for their good (well, which mother would deliberately.

@Lothiriel1

murdered. You see, as a woman in ancient Rome, her concerns are justified. As for the beating - in retrospective, Octavius knew what he did and his actions made him the sole ruler in Rome, true. But, you couldnt know that as he gave away all his familys property for his aspirations without even telling his mother. He ruined his family and I dont think he had a right to do this. I would have freaked out, too. And if you watch it again, note that Antonius just beat him for calling...

@classifieds103

I know that Atia had her shortcomings (or said in less polite words: she was was a bitch). Nevertheless I cant say she always favoured Marcus Antonius over Octavius. After all, she is his mother. In one scene as Octavius complains about Marcus Antonius, she tells him, that she isnt pleased with the situation either but it has to be like this as they are dependend on him. She thinks Antonius is the only one to protect her family since her own husband is dead and Cesar is...
