The music for the film Quo Vadis "Ave Caesar", we see the statue of Octavianus and Marcus Ulpius Traianus, but where's the star Caius Julius Caesar? To my knowledge, the only one who could be called Caesar, he was, except for a few others, see the great Trajan, only to do!

@MarcvsVibivsCatvlvs My apologies for the oversight. I was merely using the most attractive photos I had available at the time. Unfortunately, I don't want to re-upload the video and lose all the nice comments. Thank you for your post.

Where's the Fertility Hymn part?

It's still in gestation. :0)

Both your musical and aesthetic taste are remarkable in this and other videos of yours. Alma Tadema, Rome and Miklos Rozsa, among others, are a great choice! Congratulations.

Many thanks for your very kind comments! You've made my day (another rainy one here in San Francisco).

@hequaiunu What did the christians made of Rome? The most glorious, the golden age of Rome was under the PAGAN Imperator Caesar Augustus. Against him, such one as constantinus magnus is not more than a liquidator...

@mxijel The "que" is tacked on the the end of populus, that's how Latin works. It's "Senatus Populusque Romanus" In English it is "Roman senate and people"...It groups them together as a singular object and if used in a Latin sentence it even takes singular verbs. If you use your translation of Senate people as well as Romans, it evokes seperate groups. Of course, I doubt that English is your first language, but I see what your idea is.

@lhein33 you're probably right, but the sentence "roma aeterna=christiana aeterna", on which I answered, is just dumb...

[Lhein33]

@fickah221 The glory or the decline of a state or a culture don't depend on the religion only. So, the fact that a pagan period was more glorious than a christian one is not a proof that paganism was a "better" or a "higher" religion (if this is what you imply).

Octavian was a great emperor, but IMHO Antonius or Caesar were equals to him or even a bit better in tactics or charisma. Also, the empire reached its greatest extent probably in the renowned 2nd cent AD (Trajan etc).

Great music indeed quite roman
