Legio XIV Gemina - Epic Roman Music

- You can buy this song and more of my music here: faryafaraji.bandcamp.com/albu... Music and vocals by Farya Faraji, lyrics taken from the RMRS repertoire of marching songs; the RMRS are a reenactment group specialising in Ancient Roman military reconstructions and drills. Please note that this isn’t reconstructed ancient Roman music, it’s a modern piece with an ancient theme. With this song, I wanted to use only ancient Roman instruments and no modern orchestral ones, hence we only have drums, a lyre and an aulos, the last one is the bagpipe-like instrument that can also sound similar to a duduk depending on the model and playing style. The melody employs the Phrygian and Dorian modes of Ancient Greek and Roman music. I used Classical Pronunciation for the pronunciation, which is the reconstructed historical pronunciation of urban Rome circa the 1st century B.C up until the 3rd century A.D; it involves, among other elements, a retracted “s” like the Greek or European Spanish “s” sound, “v” is a “w” sound, the “m” endings like “um” and “em” are nasalised to the point where the “m” can almost sound silent, the “ae” cluster is a diphthong, and the “c” letter is a hard “k” sound. Note however that the melody does not take into account the phonemic vowel length, which was fundamental to the language, and it also ignores the stress accent.
The Legio XIV Gemina, or Twinned Fourtheenth Legion, was formed by Julius Caesar in 57 B.C, in Cisalpine Gaul. The “twinned” part of the name refers to the fact that it was merged with another legion after the Battle of Actium. It partook in the Gallic Wars under Julius Caesar as well as the war in Britain where they faced Boudicca, and many more wars for the next centuries, existing up until the end of the Western Roman Empire, as late as the 5th century.
Lyrics in Latin:
Sumus Quartadecumani Legio Gemina,
Aufer te! De via decedite!
Cornu sonat pedem inferre,
Milites romani, procedite!
Nostra superbia est in legione
Et pugnans peditatus est domus gensque.
Nos signa sequimur, quocumque nos ducunt,
A barbara Germaniae silva,
Ad Caledoniam caliginem,
Domitores Britannorum procedite.
English translation:
We are men of the Fourteenth, Legion of the Twin Away with you! Get out of our way!
The trumpet sounds advance,
Soldiers of Rome, forward!
Our Pride is in the Legion,
And the fighting infantry are our family and home,
From the barbarous forests of Germany,
To the mist shrouded hills of Caledonia,
Tamers of Britain, March! - Hudba
DISCLAIMER: The “XIIII” is not an error, the image in the background is a real, historical one, and Romans commonly wrote 14 both as XIV and XIIII, it’s like colour vs color in English-multiple writing conventions can exist for a word or number, and XIIII is routinely attested in Ancient Roman sources and remains.

Your songs improve my morale at the gym better then any heavy metal song can ever hope to achieve. Truly thank you.
Awesome! Could you do a Praetorian Guard song?
Música da guerra entre Romanos e Lusitanos seria tão interessante...
My friend, you should make one for the Paean of Apollo. At least a recreation of how it may have sounded like when sung by greek armies as they entered combat

I’ve always loved how each legion had its own name, its own emblem, and its own history. Like it was its own person. Farya always does justice to the subjects of his music. Justice and love.
Roman legions are, unironically direct descendants of the original indoeuropean warbands, each had its own name and animal they identified to. Not few celtic tribes are named after theirs like the Curiosolites(Koryo-svell, the massacring warband)
@@cintaratna6083 In the USA today we have the 82nd Airborne. In Britain they have the Scottish Black Watch. During the American Civil War there were the Black Hats, which suffered horrific casualties. In Ancient Persia there were the Immortals. It’s quite universal, you’re right, an old legacy.
You're right, and it's awesome, and our legacy, reaching beyond Rome 😉
the identity of each legion was no joke and legionnares would beat the hell out of anybody who joked about their legion
@@mitrahispana4119 um, arent the scottish black watch ya know, scottish?

"Get out of our way" What a Roman thing to say 😂 😂
now is "levate dar cazzo"
But we can agree everything even this sounds epic in Latin
Like:
Sed omnia convenire possumus etiam hoc sonat latine epicum
Goosebumps everywhere! Imagine a Roman army coming towards your village singing this and armor clanging
I'd civilize imidiatelly
question are the ones living in said village befriended by the empire or not
if the first is true then good tidings be upon your humble village
if the second is truth then 04 is right to wish for a quick establishment of friendship

Can you imagine hearing this if a Roman Legion was approaching?
From the hills, you can hear the thunderous footsteps of the Roman army, armor and shields clinking sharply. But above all that, the bellowing voices of thousands of soldiers, all of them proclaiming the power of the the legion.
i would sh#t on my self
This+ the sound from weapons,armor and shield to the beat
The sound of Civilization
Honestly, same goes with many germanic people. Could you imagine being a roman and suddenly the trees start singing germanic? I'd just drop my armor and leave.
@@lucasgamezz140 i am having flashback
Yaqui tempi multi scappavano che se la facevano addosso eh mica tutti riuscivano ad affrontare le legioni romane
I generally like everything you make, but the roman pieces are all absolute bangers. Eagerly awaiting the next one.
I agree. There’s something about them that is just a chef’s kiss.
Dang, those drums hit harder than Titus' legions when they toppled the walls of Jerusalem.
(Honestly though, I really enjoy all the music you put out, it has such an interesting feel to it, and I love studying Roman literature to music like this, to put me into the world of antiquity a bit more)
lmao! Best comment!
very well, studying history is essential to have a complete vision of the current world, studying and carrying out comparative exercises and you will see that history has never changed, the protagonists have changed, now the wars are more extensive but less ferocious, if not we are careful with the current resources there is a risk of extinction.

I LIVE for your Roman themed music! Absolutely epic! No words, just chills. Music aside, I was wondering how many Boudiccas were there? I remember she led an uprising around the time of Emperor Nero, so I am a bit confused. Was there another Boudicca in the time of Caesar?
Legio XIIII GEMNIA MARTIA VICTRIX participated in the conquest of Caledonia and later under Nero the battle of Watling street and defeated Biudiccas. It was raised by Caesar but its legionary standard remained for more than five centuries.
Le resistenze nei confronti dei romani erano Indispensabili per mantenere l'Impero unito, anche quando non vi erano minacce le creavano. Ci sono state centinaia di "Boudicche" cadute per mano delle legioni. Senza un nemico l'Impero non vive.
@@Fraskino86 Makes sense.
@@samuelshi5991 Thank you for the explanation. That makes perfect sense!
@@Fraskino86 to be fair aloft of those enemies were due to Rome's heavy handed tactics against those who wanted a fair deal before submitting. But then that is what happens when your Emperor is more interested in turning a minor religious sect into lawn candles

I was just playing Ryse son of rome a few hours ago, and you drop this, legend
Farya you should make a playlist for Latin Roman music. I think this should be the fourth one.
Latina Românească,limba latina este o limba romanesca
Latina este limba o verisoara a limbii daco-tracice,nu romana!!!
Man! the whole composition the music and singing is a masterpiece
Dear Farya, thank you for this song 😊 It was my number one song on Spotify last year. My son, who was born in March last year, grew up with it. Now he is almost 1 year old. Every time he hears the first sounds, he smiles ❤ More of such songs please! Greetings from Germany
Muy buen trabajo! Me encanta la música bizantina y romana que haces! Mereces mucho más de lo que tienes ahora!
Beatifull work as allways Another fine addition to my collection of Roman/Byzantine music to play while studying latin
Incredible. I feel the blood of Rome flowing through my veins when I hear your music.
Its interesting how its possible to make a Roman march without trumpets, an instrument which everyone associates with Rome.
The lyrics are absolute fire, not gonna lie, and so is your performance. Out of all of your Roman songs, this one seems the most like a song legions could march to, the drums to give rhythm, and singing to boost morale and pass time during long marches. 10/10
i associate trumpets with..
my balls
For a good march you need drums only.
Heilung ... :D
Да, верно. Вы абсолютно правы. Музыка была очень популярной в Древнем Риме. Римские легионы использовали музыкальные инструменты: духовые и ударные музыкальные инструменты для того, чтобы поднять дух и мотивацию римских легионеров и запугать врагов. К тому же, армейская музыка Древнего Рима очень помогала легионерам синхронизировать все свои действия на войне и на поле боя: марш-броски, и так далее и тому подобное. И несмотря на то, что римская музыка Фарья Фараджи это всего лишь реконструкция, это самая правдоподобная и правильная реконструкция древнеримской музыки.

You are a music phenomenon ! I love lyrics from RMRS but especially your voice & music..... THANK YOU ! PS: my gf (Ancient Greek and Latin teacher) mentioned that your pronunciation of G and C in Latin is really spot on
This might have been your best work out the Roman sons so far in my opinion I'm simply addicted to it. Please continue your wonderful art Please add this to the music streaming service so I can feed my addiction easier.

A wonderful song! It would be nice to se a version for Legio XIII Gemina as well! Maybe a playlist with songs for each legion! Keep up the great work! :))
This is personally my favorite Roman-themed song that you’ve made so far! (I love them all btw) Your music and channel are massively UNDERRATED! Keep up the great work!
PS: Your music is great to listen to while playing Total War Rome. You outta also consider making a song on the 9th or 10th legions with a very clear Caesar-loving focus if you haven't.
Maybe a song on Quintus Sertorius, a mix of Roman with heavy Iberian theme.
Hannibal, I'm not sure if you've done any Phoenician based songs. Could also do one on the Roman perspective where it’s sounds dire with lyrics about how dangerous he really was and how the Romans saw him as their boogeyman.
Obviously Augustus is a must, Roman themed with a heavy and thick emphasis on Power and Prestige.
Pompey, Aurelian, Trajan, Stilicho, Marcus Agrippa and many many more famous Romans who I think could have their own themes.
But those are just sound cool ideas in my opinion. Once more great song!
That`s my favourite from you Farya! Legio XIV Gemina has my outmost respect for their deeds. Especially with Paulinus in Brittania. Thanks for your work!
Bro, I can't get enough of this song!
Your channel is criminally underrated, it's unfair. I love your explanation videos on music too
great song as always!
Favorite song so far, absolute gold
Glory to Rome, Glória a Eterna Roma em nossos corações !
ROMA INVICTA !
ROMA AETERNA !
I love the vibe of this song. so powerful!😊
I love this song so much. There's a lot of exciting lyricism - I really enjoy the number shift in "Aufer te de via decedite" from singular to plural, and the "Pugnans peditatus est domus gensque" is full of great sounds arranged in a cool chiasmus.
the line at 2:40 is enough to make you shiver in the intense summer heat! can't get enough of it
This is a master piece, hope you do more music from the other legions ❤
Keep up the amazing work!!!

@TK "Britain didn’t conquer itself smart guy there is a difference between geographical Britain and English Britain"
Still ignoring the point. William the Conqueror was King of England by right of conquest despite not being English.
" Norman’s are still Germanic"
They're French, which is why Normandy is part of France. They spoke a French-based language, and French was the language of the monarchy from the 11th century after the conquest to the accession of Henry IV. While the word Norman does derive from Northman, the Vikings who were given the region we now call Normandy, they assimilated with the local population, and lost any real sense of being Germanic. Just as the Norman kings would eventually lose any semblance of being French.
So, again, by your own admission, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is not a successor to the Kingdom of England as it existed prior to the Norman conquests, and so Norman England is not actually England.
" As for the patriarch recognitions I will just laugh it off considering you got no common sense that he was threaten with his life."
He actually was not. In fact, in classical Roman fashion, Mehmet appointed the Ecumenical Patriarch which recognized his authority as Roman Emperor. And you can't say this makes him illegitimate considering that the Emperors have been appointing patriarchs for nearly a thousand years by this point in time.
"you really pressed about this and I really don’t care"
You apparently DO care, since you responded.
"You also just recognized that target are an outside entity that simply let some form of government live inside that doesn’t make the a successor by far in fact only a very deflect fee ottomans even considered themselves Roman other, so yes you’re not only pressed but never got passed 6th grade it seems."
Considering you can't even write coherently, this is the perfect example of a black pot calling a white kettle black. If that metaphor is too hard for you to comprehend, I'll explain it.
You say I am uneducated, IE you are calling me a black kettle, while you are someone who lacks enough education to use proper grammar, IE, a black pot. I call myself a white kettle because I am clearly more educated than you will ever be, as shown by my use of reasoned arguments and ability to command the English language with a high degree of fluency.
I suggest you look up what 'irony' means, because you are oozing it.
And yes I am the same person as Me, I have a work account and a personal account. While in my work account I have to be nice, in my personal account I do not. I was trying to be civil, but you showed yourself to be a uneducated vermin unable to entertain ideas that run contrary to their personally held beliefs. Which is the mark of an uneducated scoundrel.
Sounds like a song, to sing after a long and hard legionairs day.
I wish I could revive a Roman veteran of this legion, have him listen to this. So sad it is that history is taken from us on the personal level by death; so glad it is that it may be revived on the personal level by songs honoring the dead.
Your passion is literally melting me
And I like it you are the greatest music composer of all time at least for me
I love the minimal instruments at the beginning.
Okay, I've listened to your other Roman pieces, which are all excellent in different ways. But, this piece is my absolute favourite, and I sincerely hope you can be persuaded to make more songs like this for some other famous legions (IX, X, XX etc.)
I must say, that was friggin awesome! Thanks for sharing
Love your roman/eastern roman music, thank you!
