My homage to ancient Rome. Aetas Romana is Latin and means "the age of Rome".
With this song I tried to create something that takes me back to the time in which Rome was at its peak and stretched from Britannia to Syria over snow-covered plains to scorching deserts. The song itself is not like Illyricum, which was meant to be as traditional as possible. In this song I chose a composing style closer to movie scores, which gives much more room for dramatics and feelings of awe and mystery. The first 4min are actually a different scale than most of the later parts, it starts with an Arabian scale and then transitions into Aeolian minor which is a classic European scale. So in a sense it can be seen as if you'd travel from the East into the centre of the Roman Empire as the song progresses.
All music composed and arranged by Adrian von Ziegler.

Usage rights - please read:
I’m posting the usage rights and important information about my music right here in a comment on every new video so that they’re easily accessible to everyone. =)
USAGE:
If your project (any project at all, movie, photography, websites, live shows etc.) is non-commercial, which means it doesn't earn you any money, then you can use my music for free. Only given credits are necessary, that's the only condition. Credits would be totally fine as a small text in the movie, website etc. written "Music by Adrian von Ziegler". In live shows and other projects where including a text would be difficult, an oral mention would suffice as well. =)
On CZcams and twitch you can also use my music for free even if you monetize your videos by the way!
ANY school projects have automatic free permission to use my music, no license payment is required.
If the project is commercial, meaning it makes money in any way (except CZcams and twitch, see above), you would have to buy a license for the music you want to use. The license payment would be small in almost all cases except for big budget productions. It would be a one-time payment, so you can use the music you bought forever in that project. It does not give you any rights over the music however, so remixing the music, re-selling it etc. is not allowed.
Giving credits is also necessary in commercial projects.
Please note that "for free" only applies to the usage license. Music is my full-time job and is where 100% of my earnings come from. So no matter what you use my music for, whether it's commercial or non-commercial use, I appreciate that you purchase the music instead of downloading it for free. Many people misunderstand this part so I need to clear this up. I love making music, but if everyone would just get it for free I would not be able to pay rent, so please understand. It was always my dream to make enough money to survive with music being my only job, and that is only possible because of people who go and buy that music.
Remixing, sampling and other forms of altering the original song into a new piece of music is also generally not allowed unless the remix is 100% non-commercial and labelled with the original title and author of the song (me). Adding bird noises, nature sounds or similar things are allowed. Nightcore alterations are also allowed while non-commercial and labelled with original title and author (Google "Nightcore" in case of confusion).
So if your project is non-commercial or a CZcams project, just give credits and there is nothing holding you back from using my songs. ANY song you want. =) If it's commercial stuff just write me a personal message or an email at adrianvonziegler@gmx.ch and inform me about the scale and details of the project and we'll make a deal.
REQUESTED MUSIC:
I have recently made a very good experience with collaborating with other artists and am now - carefully - open to requests. Please note before sending me a request that any agreement will have to assure me a high level of control and independence over the composing process and certain copy- and intellectual rights over any composition that has been created on request (this entails for example that I can still upload and sell any music that I composed for a given project).
Important:
I do not allow my music to be used in any project that has a clear political, racist or discriminatory message or is pornographic. By that I mean anything that goes from direct political, racist or discriminatory videos or underlining speeches with my music, onto remixing my melodies into a song that has lyrics with clear political, racist or discriminatory message and similar things that clearly promote these things. Same goes for explicit pornography. Media with nude art is allowed, if not pornographic in nature and purpose.
I hope you're having an awesome day, and thanks a lot for being interested in my music! =)
That's a clear list Adrian ;) Thank you for the information!
That seems like one of the most reasonable and fairest terms I have seen in a while, good on you.
That's more than fair ❤️❤️
keep it up, Adrian. i hope i will be able to buy your music one day as it helps me so much! thank you for your incredible work
Hi can I use this music to promote the concept of justice?
Imagine being a peasant or even a "barbarian" in the ancient world, never having seen an actual city, not being able to read, having heard about it only in stories. And then you come to the city of Rome.
It has to be amazing!
Modern Day Version: People who live in the flyover states and hear the stories of NYC or LA
The majority of the city was slum-like, I imagine that barbarian would think "Eh, this must be the largest shithole I have ever seen"
@@karloperkovic6710 certainly not...
Seriously, I said almost the exact same thing to my mother a few days ago when we've been watching a documentary about Ancient Rome. It's so fascinating.
"My name is Adrianus Vonimus Zieglerius, Commander of the instruments of the North, General of the Musical Legions."
😂
Father to a murdered symphony, husband to a murdered Philarmonic Orchestra, and I will have my vengeance in this life or the next!
"von" just means "from" or "of".
Adrian from the brick-layer/tiler. Means Adrian's ancestor, when last names were given out, likely worked in construction.
So it'd be something more like... Adrianus ex Murario... though I'm worried I've made a mistake there.
Probably a guy from one of the Germanic Tribes, whose name was Latinized. Whose cunning play of the musical instruments was such that the Romans asked him to come to see Rome and work music for her.
And oh how he surpassed their expectations!
Adrianus, are you the cousin of Biggus Dickus?
I am born, raised and currently live in Rome. I can take the metro and, in a few stops, walk beside the glorious remnants of my ancestors. Remember, western society was born here and all the roads trough time return to these hallowed grounds. Even my name and that of my girlfriend are from roman origin!
Da me che abito vicino Pompeii sentiresti dire lo stesso
Lucky you. Living in such a significant city, must feel great. Do you ever imagine what life must've looked like when walking through its streets?
@@AverageAlien i mean i live near pompeii some min. away i often visit it, but there is two part of the city the old one and the modern one and you have to pay to enter the "archeological zone" but the first sunday of every month it's free, also yes i always imagine the life in the ancient pompeii it's also very well conserved, there are even some houses that still have the roof and second floor it's always a pleasure to see a beautiful city like ancient Pompeii
Classical Greco-Roman(/Etruscan) civ was it's own thing, not necessarily a direct ancestor to the modern West.
You live in Rome 😍. Lucky you. For us history lovers it's a dream to visit there.

@Thomas Durrant Was it translated with google translator? Seems like gibberish.. Ignari imitatione sermonis latini facile decipiuntur. Facilius tamen modice eruditus eandem deceptionem intellegit.
Seems like people speak Latin here, any fellow would like to be kind enough to teach me
Somehow closing my eyes hearing this, I can visualize a vivid image of ancient Rome.
I often feel nostalgic about it, as if I was alive back then.
@@julius43461 I often wish true history wasn't that unromantic. Would love to see the architecture of ancient rome! But I also know that the city had malaria epidemics, unhygienic slums, dirty rivers and dangerous fires. I have been obsessed with rome since class 6, but the more I know, the more the facade is crumbling.
Just enjoy the music and the fairytales of this epoch. It has a magic for it's own. :)
@@alexshorty3719 yeah I know that as well. We can't help but romanticize our past.
I wish I could do that.
@@alexshorty3719 That was in the poor areas of the city, the palatine hill was probably just as glorious as we imagine it today, people tend to forget that ancient cities just as diverse as modern cities, different areas of the city looked different.
Congratulations 👏👏 the romans and Greeks had the same calture and of course music greetings from Hellas 🇬🇷🇬🇷
Their cultures did somewhat differ actually. Calling the Romans a copy of the Greeks is a naive perspective.
Very similar
Imagine being a Saxon child, born in post Roman Britain. Your earliest memories are of exploring and seeing these massive structures, and your imagination is running full throttle on what human or being built such humongous creations.
*aliens...*
Arminius was born in what is today known as Germany as the child of a tribe leader. He was brought to Rome as hostage. He grew up in the Roman empire under the house of a noble, he became a member of the Roman military and officer even. However when Arminius returned to Germania he actually switched sides and caused one of the most devastating Roman defeats as he managed to get most of the Tribes to fight the Roman army advancing into enemy teritory.
I guess not everyone was so much in to the Romans and their lifestyle I would say a lot of them understood what the Roman architecture meant. Domination. Superiority. Submission of other cultures. This is something thats been probably somewhat common as well. Maybe even more often than any admiration. Many despised the Romans and also their Empire.
The saxons actually believed giants built them truly shows how much history we lost when Rome fell
@@almighty5839 Didn't lose much. Old Rome was nothing like it's old self. I'm sure many were glad Rome fell
@@JJaqn05 Many were glad that the Empire fell as it had long ceased being an effective state and constantly consumed lives, material, and money in civil wars that most of the empire couldn’t care less about. However there was a longing for the other things it had brought such as the architecture, administration, and protection among other things. Most hated what the empire currently was and missed what it had been at its best.
A lot was truly lost, but being perfectly honest plenty of what was seen as lost happened before or after the fall of the West, hardly during its very anti-climactic end.
Roman emperor Adrian once traveled through all the provinces of Rome, getting learned their ways of life. Now his namesake Adrian gives us a similar experience with all the provinces' ways of music.
Not to burst your bubble or anything (why do I even care this is a 2 year old comment), but I think the emperor you're referring to is Hadrian, as in the namesake of Hadrian's Wall in Britain.
@@nathancarroll4954 His name was written as "Hadrian" or "Hadrianus" but it was pronounced "Adrian" or "Adrianus", the H was silent. The modern "Adrian" in post Latin languages came from the Latin "Hadrian" anyway. Another example is "Julius", it was written as such in Latin but it was pronounced "Iulius".
For example, the city of "Hadrianopolis" (modern Edirne), named after the same Emperor Hadrian, is called "Adrianople" in English as its pronunciation evolved over time from hadrianopolis to adrianopolis- which is where its turkic name "Edirne" comes from.
This reminds me a lot of the music from Rome: Total War. Anyways this is absolutely gorgeous aaaaaa
Agreed. Makes me want to muster the legions and crush some barbarian hordes.
I'm all for TW: Rome III to be composed by Adrian! This one is perfect for the campaign map.
HOW THE FUCK XD did ypu even play?
Rome Total War was/is so great! I really like the older total war games with all their simplicity
Fk. Now i have to play that game again XD

You made a great and well informed on this subject, Work , Sir !
Thank you so much! God bless
Der Adrian, please read this:
Thank you so much for the musik you are composing. I've become addicted to it. I'm listening to it day and night. There are simply no words to help me express the feelings arousing in me while listening to your tracks. You have placed an amasingly wonderful new world into our today sad one, making yours breath life into it.
Take good care and thanks for making this world a little better. Thank you for being on this earth.
( From a non native speaker, with love)
My latin isn't the best, but shouldn't it be "aetas Romae"? "Aetas Romana" roughly means "roman time" or "rome time", at least as far as I know.
I thought that too at first but I actually consulted several academics to settle that question, Aetas Romana is correct.^^
I have been listen to your music since I was 12 to help me concentrate on my homework. Now I am at my desired university and going to be graduate this year. I am still listening to them as I work on my dissertation. The accompany of your music allowed me to go through some darkest time of my life. Your channel is the place where I can escape from the noise in outside world and enjoy the moment of peace. Thank you so much Adrian. You are a truly inspiring artist who has a great sense of creativity and passion on music!
I'm glad to read your wonderful testimony to this beautiful music. I wish you all the best in your future.
This is excellent, makes me think of the old republic under Caesar. I think we need more Roman music and more Roman culture in the world today. No civilization in history has ever been able to match the glory and prestige of Rome.
The british empire was larger and more influential, but to be fair it would of never existed if it wasn't for the Roman empire
The Islamic Empire (and all the empires that make up this) arose and brought progress, probably the reason that accelerated the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance in Europe, but it must be said that Islamic civilization also benefited from Rome and Greece, but after as in a relay, however, it passed the baton to Europe in the Renaissance and now it is not in good shape.
@@AverageAlien You can't even compare them, The english empire was a colonial empire, in Europe the english had nothing. They literally fought against tribes with bows and arrows, while they had guns. And also in the Seven Years war or Napoleonic wars the English, militarily speaking, they did almost nothing. Probably if they weren't on their island Napoleon would have conquered them. And then you can't even say that it was more influential, Rome literally creates Europe. The architecture, alphabet, engineering, they literally create cities like London or Paris!
@@jacopocrisalli2753 The british empire created the modern world. If it wasn't for us you would be nothing
@@AverageAlien the British empire was "influential" only for the countries that it conquered, the whole western world wasn't particularly influenced by it except for the fact that the English language is considered the lingua franca, the United States had more influence on the modern world than the British empire ever had. Also if by influence you mean scientific discoveries then I could also say that the modern world was heavily influenced by the Germans and the Italians since a lot of important scientists of the '800 and '900 were either Italian or German. The Roman Empire is the basis for basically everything in the western world, except for the legal code used in anglo saxon countries, it left a bigger impact on the cultures and history of the western world, it even lasted more then the British empire
I love this music. It's kind of melancholic and this us my kind of being happy.
I lit some candles, looked and listened, shed some tears and was entirely happy.
Can we honestly start a petition to bring back the Roman Empire?
As my Roman professor said to my class at the beginning of our first lecture, if you admire and want to emulate the Romans, we can get you help.
it would be a lot of hard work, first you need to ensure that Europeans are okay to be governed in a militaristic regime
Well I think that the Roman Empire, or the roman customs and laws still live with us today anyway, we are using their words... Most of the "post-roman" history has seen attempts to get it back in a way. Like the "Middle-Ages" were just a long shadow of the Roman era, as they still looked for Rome and then the reginition of interest in ancient authors and texts, the ideas of enlightement or later 19th century were in many ways mentally returning to the "roman ideal"... not to talk about Mussolini's dream to truly renew the empire in the 20th century... And in this light, we in the West ARE roman empire to this very day ✌😊
@Priester Thank you for your kind reply. Nah, mate, I am not a jesuit, what brought you to this idea? I met only one jesuit in my whole life when I was attending lectures on the philosophy of history (Geschichtsphilosophie), he was the teacher and was kinda crazy. So not really fond of them right now 😁😬
And one thing to the Roman Empire: the "barbarised" western roman empire, the "Holy Roman Empire" lasted until 1806 when it was disbanded by Napoleon. So if we take this into consideration, "the Roman Empire" ended only 200 years ago as an institution. But as you said, the institutions and goverments live on with their roman heritage. Even the symbol I have on my profile picture is christian, yet deeply roman. And it lives on... And there's one institution that also survived... the Roman Catholic Church, as the Pope is still being the "pontifex maximus" in 2020.
By the way, to anyone else reading it wanting to know more, Jacques Le Goff has a great (very thicc) book "Medieval Civilisation" (La Civilisation de l'Occident médiéval) and the first chapter tells a lot about this.
@Priester That's easy 😁 I usually write things that have something in common with history or philosophical terms also in German, because some people know them better and also German has the great value in expressing more things and slight nouances with just one word due to the way you combine words... Not really good in German, but viele grüße aus Böhmen! ✌😊
We need Rome now, more than ever.
The city is still standing, and the Pontifex Maximus still exists
Man if there's only a few constants during these hard times, we can only hope that your music is one of them! Thank you so much for all of your music, your uplifting spirit and you love for your community! Stay safe, healthy and musical!
anybody else just close their eyes and listen to this type of music, imagining you're there and living a whole life in your head?
Adrian: *Drops Music*
Me: *Drops what I’m doing and tunes into the enchanting divine art he created*
Adrian, we need a full album of this. love the Hellenic culture and even more so its mix with the Roman Empire and its history
@ItzSkylerUwU. YT The early Romans were Hellenic
@@thetowerfantasymusic I'm not sure about agreeing with you but for sure Romans did like the Greek culture and saw Greeks as superior beings to them. Therefore they did "imitate" their architecture. In fact, the Romans adopted the Greek architecture and also military wearing. Romans adopted everything they did like from the cultures they visited and conquered. And the things they didn't like, they just forgot it.
@@thetowerfantasymusic Romans were Latin people. Not Greeks
Rome was inspired by hellenism lol
@@FsimulatorX Inspired, that's all. Remember that Italic tribes all had their traditions, cults etc.
Latin people were mostly warriors/shepherds, then they founded Rome
I use your music to help me write my stories all the time. Thank you so much, you help with my anxiety and stressed everyday and this piece is beautiful and haunting
I'm glad I can help you with that, I actually started doing those 20min songs to help with my own anxiety and for background when I write.^^
Yes it is bestifull
Hadrian von Ziegler strikes again!
That's so perfect -- "Ziegel" is German for "brick", so it's "Hadrian of Bricker"!
So my name is basically an homage to Hadrian and his wall that held back the Picts, which is pretty ironic since I make so much music honouring the ancient Celts. xD
This just can't be a coincidence.
My soul is divided. Quite fitting since I'm from Switzerland, we were right at the border of the Roman empire. Subjugated Celts looking across the Rhine, one eye towards Roman civilization, the other towards the wild northern forests.
No matter how hard you try to deny your Celtic heart: the wild northern forests will always look back at you.
Sou brasileira e apaixonada por seu trabalho! Sua música inebria, me faz viajar por séculos atrás... Obrigada!

Foda demais parabéns 👏
Man you gotta love seeing a 20 minute piece from Adrian being uploaded and realising you have a whole journey ahead of you listening to it
Rome is generally my least favourite ancient civilisation (don't get me wrong, I like all ancient history, it's just the one I find least interesting), but this is just ethereal beauty embodied. The entire piece just instils this feeling of utter, immense, ancient spectacle. Bravo, Adrian.
Thank you so much, that's a wonderful compliment!
Curious as to why? I’m in a masters program for ancient history and Rome is a cornerstone for all of the classics
That's because of the cultural sock when encountering them because much of Europe and their colonies had got some roman culture+some native one so when we encounter the pure ancient culture they are just so novel,new,different,from Rome you arleady know what to expect.
He's probably a stinky Carthaginian
@@SinogardNunitsuj Well, Emperor Trajanus did build a bridge, which even today would've been an architectural challenge - the bridge at the Iron Gates on the Danube river and made good use of it as a passage point for his campaigns in Dacia.
You captured the history of Rome very well Adrian. A masterpiece.
Reminds me of when I was a teen and loved studying ancient Roman history. Thank you for making beautiful relaxing music when I needed it most :)
We might be divided for now, but one day Aetas Romana will rise again
lol no
@Susan Moran uniting is actually not bad at all, but obviously not under slavery type of economy. Market/Plan as start would be good. Better the plan ofc.
@Susan Moran celts did not single handely bring the empire down, it was the countless different tribes over many years all going against them
Tom Sandström Why do idiots always spam “lol” in their comments? That’s a weird behavior I’ve seen.
Hopefully without the crazy gladiator battles, the daily killings of prisoners through manslaughter and bestial savagery, or the forced political advances into most of the European, Mediterranean, Asia, and African lands and subjugation or killings of their peoples. They were smart about their political leaders, but even that could get messy quickly, especially after the reign of Caesar, Tiberius, and Octavius.
in these hard times of pandemic you give me a solace from the chaos
Listening to this song while writing on my story set in ancient Rome is just perfect. Love it!

Hey Adrian. I'm writing a fantasy novel and just wanted to say that your music is absolutely perfect as a background for my writing sessions. It's relaxing, yet intense. It's calm, yet it evokes some caution. And the best thing is it does not distract me from my arduous task at hand. I genuinely feel like I'm a worse writer whenever I don't have your music playing in the background, so THANK YOU for this!
Welch Wundervoller Klang.😊 Da werden wieder Erinnerungen wach von meinen Urlaubstouren durch Rom, Israel, die griechischen Inseln. Ich brauch nur die Augen schließen und schon bin ich wieder dort. 😄 Auf dem Dach in Jerusalem bei Nacht. Oder Creta am Mittag. Jaja lang ists her. Doch wegen dem Klimawandel werde ich wohl bis zur Einführung des Solar basierten Kerosins nicht mehr in ein Flugzeug steigen. Vielen Dank für diese Wunderschönen Melodien
Your music always helps inspire my drawings. Mediterranean themed ones all the more. I can already feel the works this song will help me create! Thank you once again.
This song takes me back to the ancient time of Rome...And it makes me wonder how my _Roman ancestors dealt with the Justinian Plague_ from the early AD years...
This is beautiful! Hauntingly charming, I will listen to it while I draw and paint. Your music is an inspiration, your songs, each one of them are lovely portals leading us to ancient realms and dimensions. Thank you, I wish you the best always ×
This is beautiful
I listen to this when I paint and draw, nice that we share a common hobby. God bless
Beautiful music. The music plus the illustration of the city of Rome, takes us to the past. Masterpiece.
Walkin by her side .... feeling nothing else but the air in our bodies.... looking around us... following only one path.... i can see her smiling at me... i reach for her hand..... we keep walking, we gear nothing but the sounds of our steps, of our breaths... and around us nothing else only the sounds of this MASTERPIECE
❤
Now you close your eyes and dream!
I think my personal favorite daydream about Rome is how it was more or less made for durability and resiliency. Concrete we’re still trying to truly mimic that was made stronger with age instead of weaker, holding together buildings made of stone and brick. How many generations walked down a street and it was the exact same way as their great grandparents saw at the same age, with a century between them.
We so often call new and different the magical one but I seriously find that to be just as magical. Real, tangible heritage used everyday just beside innovation and change. Makes it that people themselves are the obvious change instead of their surroundings and things.
You get it.
I heard somewhere that, during the high middle ages (~1300s), people sometimes deconstructed buildings built during the height of the roman empire (~200s) for their easy-to-access stonework. The fascinating thing is that the mortar used to hold these roman buildings together was so slow-setting that even during the high middle ages, the mortar flowed and had the same consistency as newly produced medieval mortar, and so was often reused. I'm not sure if this is actually true, though the idea of the romans using mortar that outlasted their empire seems fascinating.
I've been hearing the music of Adrian for many years now. Since college. This is one of my favorite pieces, though. It really transports me to a better dimension, where there's more space, more creativity, more inner peace. You proportion us travels in marvelous ways! Thanks.
We need u in these hard times adrian. The honorable doctors and everyone cure us physically but this what u make is a spiritual cleanser. Much love from India. We need such pieces as situation here is turning precarious every minute. prayers for all of you. Keep ur family safe.

I’m currently trying to write a story with my brother and I’m doing the art work for it. This music inspires me to no end and helps me focus on my art and the concept I want to do. Thank you so much for this!
P.S. please make more like this track! Ancient Rome is one of my favorite time periods!
Adrian, you've really outdone yourself. This is so ancient and soothing. I wondered what 'Roman music' would sound like, and it is this. Excellent work, thank you so much.
Wunderschön lied... No words. We can now walk back in times... Back to the Ancients 🐺❤
Vielen Dank, meine liebe Brüder
I really like how after all these years of making Celtic, celtic, celtic and more celtic you finally decide it's time to give the great Empire recognition. Keep up the good work man!
Yeah a lot of people have been fascinated with Celtic music for awhile but don't recognize the beautiful Latin music
This would a good ambient theme of Rome if there was an open world game set in the Roman republic or empire. Entering the surrounding areas of the capital city itself would be a good way to introduce this music to the player 🦅 🏙

But somehow, everything seems easier with amazing music. It sets my mind at ease.
Writing a 2000 word essay on ancient Greece in the sun to this. Very thankful for this beautiful ambient music!
Same here, writing a treatise on Ancient Greek identity. This theme is great this.
Thank you kindly Adrian. For taking your time to share with us...the world. It is appreciated and needed. To remember the past is to remember the future.

A perfect tribute to Italy, so beautifully done Adrian. Thank you for creating such beautiful music during these times, it's truly appreciated. My prayers go out to Italy and the whole world, please stay safe everyone. We can get through this 💕🌻 ~
Not Italy, but Rome in general
The people of Rome deserve a sequel to this master piece!

Amazing place to be in the ancient world. Vibrant and full of technological wonders that had been lost after the collapse of the Empire. Low-class peasants living in vast apartment and shared-housing, while the middle-class and upper-class peasants were living in their own villas or buildings within cities.
Had the same issues as any other major population centre; slums, violence, disease.
But, even with all that, it was still a sight to behold. Vast wooden structures among the lower-class or servants. Villas of concrete and stone among the middle and upper class. Nothing like the dull colours often portrayed in films and books, but vibrant in various shades of colour for the materials, and the art depicted on and within buildings.
I love this music especially when I am reading Marcus Aurelius Meditations. "This is not a misfortune but to bearly nobly is always good fortune" Marcus Aurelius
This one is regal and majestic! Love it
The melody's are haunting.
I did my last latin homework for the year while listening to this in a loop
It made a great ambient and the best thing is that when I finished everything and came here
to stop the song and go to sleep (because, JESUS, it's already 6Am) the song was also about
to reach its end.
Thanks for this amazing music and keep it good, Mr.von Ziegler :P
(Also, greetings from Spain)
Best composer of the decade, no discussions
You are a life saver!
Your music eases the soul, and helps keep me on an even keel.
Thank you Adrian!!
Be safe and be well.
As always, you were able to capture the very essence of music and you transmit a multitude of emotions to us ☺
No matter what I do, I always find my way back to Adrian's videos. Thankfully.
I love the movie Gladiator, I feel that I must have had a life in Ancient Rome, because I connect to that time period on many levels. This music is hauntingly beautiful. Greetings from Australia, keep up the good work, Adrian.
There is Roman architecture in Australia

On our donkeys, we took everything we possessed and started the long trip to Rome. From Jerusalem, we believed in Jesus and of his message so we began our travels to spread the message across the empire. As we began our journey, I thought honored that I'd go on a pilgrimage to spread Christianity throughout the empire. As we kept riding, even through Anatolia, we left the deserts behind eventually and entered the Baltics. We went through and converted people along the way, but most people rejected our message, then one day ... we saw them. A Roman patrol found us. I am writing to my loved ones or whoever will find this.
Not a real letter. It's a story made by me, but I thought it would fit the song. Hope you enjoyed the read!
Love this. Well done. Thank you for this :)
Damn, the temperature shock from the desert to the Baltics is quite drastic, I hope they're okay.
@@miguelpadeiro762 Lmao I meant the Balkans. I'm American so we tend to not know geography that well.
@@xjayy1613 I know, I'm just kidding
imo this is one of your best compositions
I have listened to this countless times and it is amazing. This is the kind of music I would like to make for the game I am developing. It takes you on a journey
Beautiful ! Loved that drop at 02:35, still listening , I also love your recent upload rate
Keep them coming Adrian!!
Edit: all love from syria!
Thank you! Yeah that part was also very exciting to make actually, it was a lot of fun.^^ I'll try to keep uploading as often as I do at the moment but it usually can't last very long, it's just too much work in too little time. I'm having an extremely creative phase and I try to use it while it lasts, so let's hope it doesn't cool down too soon.^^
@leo black I'm from Germany and it's crazy to think that our countries once were within the same borders under Roman rule. Really puts in perspectice how far stretched and massive this empire was!
@tofrie Germany like we know it today didn't exist back then but the Southwest region where I'm from was part of the Roman empire. They just never managed to conquer the northern half haha
"The Colosseum...oh you should see the Colosseum, Spaniard."
Once again you fill my soul
This music reminds me the movie "Gladiator"
I was just thinking about doing a dnd rome style adventure/campaing
Cool! I play dnd too!
All Roman music was lost to the dark ages, yet scholars believe that they were as sophisticated as modern symphonies! I like to think they may have sounded like this!
That’s not entirely true, Roman music survived and evolved over the centuries with the Roman Empire up to its fall in 1452 or 1453.
I am reading a book while listening to the music it's so cool
Grazie mille, kiss from Rome
The Roman Empire will return!
This song would be perfect for Civilization (the game)! 😱❤️ It’s magnificent.
Thanks for this great composure. I have listened to it this evening as I was exercising in my garage while reading Edward Gibbon’s classic “The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.” It was a perfect companion.
I have tried looking up this kind of music in the past to no avail. So glad someone else was thinking of the vision I had in mind 🙌 Adrian, you have the Midas touch. Keep doing what you're doing.
I playing Ac Oddysey one years ago , when i hear this music iam like a going into this ancient romana
Thus that is where Romania gets it's name from Romanus meaning citizens of Rome! Română translate as Romanian in the Romanian language from Romana just have to drop the i between n and a. Romana in Latin means Roman in which they would refer themselves as Romanian in case you didn't know.
@@bcchiriac4512 ah thankyou very much for that info , yeah truely im very bad on history
I get serious Black & White (game) and Assasin's Creed: Odyssey vibes from this music. I'm always fascinated by the Roman civilization. Can you imagine that in the world of primal barbarians there was this highly developed superior culture? Yes, the Romans were greedy, merciless and cruel towards the bordering tribes but you cannot deny their supremacy in every aspect. I would love to live as a patrician during the peak of the Roman civilization.
This is my fav song by one of my favorite artists. ❤️ keep making more songs like this. I love it!
A masterpiece of atmospheric music.
When Rome falls, the world itself will also fall.
and so it did
Rome fell in 1453 CE
@@iSyriux the Fall of Constantinopole...damn it you got the me there dude. Didnt know about this
I am more sad now
@@iSyriux East Roman Empire fell in 1453. The Rome that we all love ended in 476
@@sagu9817 Rome was pretty ass by 476 tbh. Life for 90% of people was terrible. I'd argue it was probably pretty good until around 300
I am listening to this on loop while I read Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra.

wow I have no words. Perfect Roman atmosphere.
I swear i keep waiting for the "Its an ambush sir" to come up
I've pictures in front of my eyes from my roman story. Thank you for the inspiration. Please post it on SoundCloud or an another app
You're very welcome, I'm glad you like it! I will add it to Spotify as soon as this comes out on a new album.
Massive respect to such an amazing muscian as you Adrian! 💪🏼🧝🏻♂️
