Ancient Roman Music - Musica Romana - Pugnate I

Tracks "Pompa Circensis" and "Gladiatores" from Pugnate album.

Musica Romana is a well-known, internationally-acclaimed music ensemble dedicated to recreating the Ancient Roman music. Among other things, their music was featured the Europa Barbarorum, a video game mod for Rome: Total War. The Pugnate (Latin: fight!) album recreates the music at the gladiatorial games of Imperial Rome.

I do not claim any part of this video is mine and this music belongs to Music Romana. I have noticed YouTube lacks any examples of their work, so I thought it would be splendid if more people discovered this cultural treasure. If you like this music, be sure to support Musica Romana by purchasing their albums here: http://tinyurl.com/ykxboxx (Google Translated from German) or by emailing at preorder@musica-romana.de for information on how to order from the US. Remember, the more we support the group, the more successful and productive they can be!

Alas, no. Russian :D

[Salieri325]

Do I hear a vuvuzela? Lol

[generalpatton3]

@Salieri325

Funny that you say so, the Romans had their version of tuba which sounded similar to vuvuzela in the hands of a novice - and even the dreaded vuvuzela can be used to make music if you are very skilled with it. But what you hear in the beginning was probably cornu.

[Lucius1958]

First time I've heard a hydraulus!

Though from what I've read, it was considered more of a 'chamber' instrument; circus music would have had to be fairly loud to be heard in the arena, over the crowd, etc....
