This song is from Triarii, by a repetition in a part from Dvorák Requiem. The first part, Requiem Aeternam, b flat minor. Triarii´s song is called "The Final Legion". Excuse my bad English!
This isn't an original Roman theme. Autor explains it's part of Dvorak requiem and other later music. Fact is we don't have any Roman musical records, as they didn't use partitures like ours. We have found lyrics and poems but not music, although we know what instruments they played. Salud!
If only I could really do that. Me and the boys, patrolling the halls as a legion. Full armor and weapons. Hope the School Resource Officer's don't get trigger happy on us.
@@sami_te29 Ironic that you would say that considering that the Eastern Roman Empire was not Roman either, it was Greek. The Holy Roman Empire was more Roman in its culture and traditions, thanks to the Catholic Church, than Byzantium.
You're right. It's called Russia. The West declined, and Rome was abandoned as the capital. Constantinople became the capital of the Roman Empire. When the Turks finally sacked Constantinople the Byzantine bureaucracy had already fled North, offering their governmental services to the Russians. (Who were dumb enough to accept.) Moscow was founded on seven hills. Sound familiar? Rome is alive and well, and armed to the teeth with nuclear missiles.
The EU does not protect European heritage, identity and culture. It is an ultra-liberal organisation, prioritising the needs of the third world, above those of Europeans. To even compare the EU to one of Europe's most glorious powers, is an insult to the continent. Europe burns, under the flag of the EU.
@The United States of Europe If that's the case, stop pandering to the rest of the inferior world then, and start prioritising Europeans and European culture above that of others.
@The United States of Europe Why is that exactly? Because ultra-liberal social policies break-up the family nucleus, and legalising abortion kills tens of thousands of unborn children every year. As I said, the EU is liberal to the extreme, and Europe is paying the ultimate price under its governance. Either the EU changes direction, or Europe will fall.
After 1000 years of supremacy the fall was inevitable, either within or out. No kindgom shall rule forever, but some will make history and the Roman Empire challenged both, the rules of time and chance.
Time is indeed no-one's ally, but Romes' rule of a third of the known world will, hopefully, live on forever as an example of how a single nation can reach greatness through good leadership, the will of the people and the mettle of man!
@@inspecthergadget4503 Didnt Romans used to kill christians for a while at first? I remember they also spreaded rumors about how they "eated children",etc
You may wanna replace your battery or phone. You see i had a iPhone 5 awhile back that did the same, it would be at like 90% then drop to like 63%. And on rare occasions it would increase one or two battery levels. The best part was when it was at like 5% and would last like a Chad of a battery
Rome wasn't a superpower. It was a hyperpower. Only three nations in history have gained that status. Rome, Great Britain & The United States. A hyperpower constitutes total dominance of the world, no nation in their respective eras could even come close to challenging them.
They were superpowers. There are only three recognised hyperpowers in history, which are the one's stated. Many other factors other than lifespan of reign, constitute a hyperpower. Think for example of the world today without Britain. No United States, no Canada, Australia or New Zealand (at least not how we know it). And think again of how the world has been changed by the inventions and infulence of those countries. Britain reshaped the entire world. The very language we speak is from them. Therefore I don't agree with you that the nations you stated exceed Britain. Or constitute what is offically recognised as a hyperpower.
@@dean1039 There is nothing called a hyperpower, there is just superpower, and regional powers. Mauryan empire in India rule from burma to afghanistan, there are many superpowers, no hyperpowers
I've heard Rome was so tough that China refereed to it as the "other China". China, who is known for like Rome viewing every other state besides itself as inferior and didn't recognize another major power until Russia reached it's borders, viewed Rome as honorable and worthy enough to have such a distinction. That's how great of an empire Rome was.

Soviet Union: We got the most intense National Anthem The Roman Empire: *flicks hand up in the air* "BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR" "bur" "BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR"
You do realize that the Germans were responsible for the fall of the Western half of the empire? I find it ironic that we Americans were also responsible for the fall of both the East and and West of the German Empire during WW 2.
I am an Indian , Far from Roman ideology and greatness, But Man, Listening this anthem made me remember and then cry for 476/1453 . No matter how modern day relations are of India and Italy, Rome still remains the greatest superpower in history, said by me and Indian myself. Respect to Rome 🙏🙏🙏
@@shadowxxe Mongols did have bigger empire, but it was very short lived. If you count from beginnings of Roman Republic to the fall of Eastern Roman Empire, they lasted about 1700~ years give or take. That's very long time.
Greetings from the right side of the Rhine Rome is famus Fantastic and hard but I think Germany have the epiced history and the complicated and with out the Germans was the world now in the medival I love Rome the little city xanten is a Rome Colonie it is 20 km from my city
@The United States of Europe what are you talking about? When the Roman empire came to Germany the Germans were in a primitive for of life, Germans did not have a important part in the first western civilization
Well technically Rome as a nation stood from it’s founding in 753 BC to 1453, with the fall of the Byzantine Empire and Constantinople. That’s 2,206 years. The Roman Empire lasted longer than any other nation I can think of besides Ancient Egypt, which it conquered, and basically all of modern civilization owes its existence to two kids raised by a wolf. Let that one sink in for a bit.
@Philip Manousakis No one would believe that wolf bullshit but traditional and mythological wise it was what happened. I think he was pointing out how ancient Rome is (even Rome is relatively modern compared to many other antique civilizations). And, yes, Rome is Greco Roman. It is a mediterranean civilization.
FOR THE PEOPLE FOR THE HOMELAND FOR OUR WIFES AND CHILDREN FOR OUR REMEMBRANCE, BECAUSE OUR VICTORY WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR CENTURIES MEN, TODAY WE DON'T FIGHT FOR OURSELVES TODAY. WE. FIGHT. FOR. *ROMEEE*
1453, yes that was when the Roman Empire fell, because in 476 only its Western part had fallen. the Eastern, Greek part held it out for another one thousand years.
Ρωμανια, bro, they never called themselves Byzantium, that was attributed to them more than 100 years after the fall by a handful of prejudiced, biased historians. Byzantium itself, as a city, was called Constantinople 1100 years BEFORE the fall.
The Roman Empire, all Europe united, to conquer the world like brothers. I don’t want European Union but the Roman Empire. We are all romans. Said by an Italian 🦅. Who want the return of rome like me?
the Roman Empire would be a valid alternative to the European Union. Sono italiano anche io e voglio vedere alta la bandiera dell S.P.Q.R al posto di quella dell unione europea . Aggiungerei anche il nord dell africa all neo impero
IF this is in reference to the "Eastern Roman Empire" Hence the byzantine empire, you couldn't be as far from the truth my friend, for Turks...formerly the Byzantine Empire....formerly the Persian Empire, the Turks are of Asian descent hence they originate from Asia and migrated in "Turkey" way before the Roman Empire was even established, and if you have any familiarity of Turkish history you should know that even during times of Greece during the golden age Turkey was prominently of Eastern ethnicity. So to put it in simplistic terms, no the last Romans were not of Turkish descent, and in a historical stand point Rome would be out of the situation, you could say the Turks were of Byzantium descent etc, but that's pretty much it.
Decimus Octavious there is a train of thought that I might accept in your argument, but then it can be said also for the modern Italians (except for their conviction and pride for the history), they have no relations whatsoever with ancient romans , especially the continued influx of migrants from all over in the empire, then the fall of the western empire didn't help much there, and not even talking about the constant divisions, annexation of Italy with many European countries. In conclusion I believe that the argument that you put in may be faulty. As part Italian myself we cannot 100 percent say we are from the ancient romans descent from the most likely of geopolitical interference.
I‘m swiss and near my city was a big ancient roman city, augusta raurica and i‘m so proud of the roman empire! My ancestors were roman! I wish it would still be like that these days! S.P.Q.R.
@Angry Young man Vanqisher of tyranny God damnit are u stupid. U call others neo-nazis despite urself being the one spouting racism?! Great job kid. And romans were not as white as germanics and such, but damn, not dark at all. And where did u get eastern? U know where rome is?
In 216 BC, Rome lost 10% of its adult male population, and 80% of its Republican military population, under the might of the Carthaginian general Hannibal at Cannae in 216 BC. Yet in 197 BC, barely 20 years later, Rome won a decisive victory at Cynoscephalae, Greece, over the once-mighty Macedonians. From here, Macedon became a client state to the Romans, and meanwhile Carthage was reduced to almost nothing in power. Rome was then the supreme power in the Mediterranean, and would go on to remain so until the Dark Ages and the brutal rise of Islam. Nearly One Thousand Years Later. I cannot begin to stress just how powerful Rome really was. It's perhaps a little hard to fathom since the days of colonialism, gunpowder and electronics have made ancient empires seem as nothing, but Rome really was everything. And it still is everything to the West: • French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian and Spanish all stem directly from Latin, and these languages are spoken today by around 985 Million people as a primary language worldwide, 67 Million more than native Mandarin. If you were to include English to this list, with a population of 400 Million people worldwide understanding it as a primary language, Latin's descendant languages would account for nearly 1.4 Billion people today, and that's not including the countless million more that can at least understand those languages. • Christianity, the religion that Rome came to adopt primarily in the fourth century AD, is by far the most followed religion today, with nearly 2.5 Billion people (30% of the entire world) following one form of Christianity. • If The Empire were to suddenly reunite today, it would completely encompass England, Wales, Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Italy + The Vatican, San Marino, Malta, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Serbia + Kosovo, Macedonia, Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey, Cyprus, Armenia, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Palestine. It would also nearly encompass all of Romania, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Kuwait, Egypt and Tunisia, and would reach parts of Scotland, Germany, The Netherlands, The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Moldova, The Ukraine, Russia, Georgia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Algeria and Morocco. All of these countries have since had nearly 2,000 years of proud history to boast of, and a vast amount of them owe their existence to The Paragon of Western Civilization itself. If you were to make a journey from Scotland to Kuwait today, you would need to know dozens of languages, have several different passports, and even more visas and currencies at hand, yet under Rome, all you needed was ONE language (+ maybe Greek) and ONE currency, and you would have been protected by ONE legal system. • Europe's ways of law, art, architecture and warfare have all been influenced by Rome. The city itself had more and purer drinking water than a citizen of 20th century Chicago + Paris did, and there are roads built by the Romans that are still in some use today, including a bridge in Rome that was built in 63 BC - it still carries traffic with ease. • Rome was also the first city in world history to reach a population of one million people, and the empire itself ruled over a quarter of the world’s population. THE most astonishing thing is, that for all the government-funded straight, paved roads, aqueducts, homes, colonies, arenas, forums, temples and other genuinely amazing pieces of architecture and infrastructure that Rome built and that has lasted to even today, the average Roman citizen (during the Pax Romana / Roman Peace) was taxed at only 0.01-0.03%, and only had to work 2 days a YEAR to pay their taxes. (It's easy to overlook this fact by stating that Rome had slaves, but it's also easy to forget that pretty much everyone else did at the time, and so do we - there's just no human rights being violated when we use them, and we tend to call them 'robotics'.) I would easily consider all of this to be, by far, the greatest achievement in the history of civilization, and I'm including splitting the atom and putting man on the moon when I say that. The 300-ish year period of wealth, prosperity and peace of the Pax Romana once led a historian to claim that if a person were to pick the one period of the human race where mankind was happiest, he would - without hesitation - choose the 2nd century AD in Rome, and I cannot say that I disagree. It is also said that when Rome came into contact with China, a nation known for viewing the world as either Chinese or Not-Chinese, (basically viewing themselves as the world's superiors) the Chinese started referring to Rome as "Other China". Understanding that the Himalayas, the Mauryan Indians and the Parthian/Sassanid Persians separated these two ancient empires, and knowing just how limited their contact with one another really was, tells you not only how far-reaching Rome could be but also how powerful even the most distant of nations knew Rome was. Now this piece of music isn't actually the anthem of Rome - Rome never had an official national anthem to our knowledge, and it's generally considered that national anthems weren't a thing until around the 16th century AD. This particular piece of music is an altered repetition of 'Triarii', or 'The Final Legion', from Dvorák's Requiem, written in 1890, but it could not be more perfect a piece to represent Rome; Its instruments have an imperial and Roman feel to it and it doesn't mess about from the start - it starts loud and glorious and it never ceases to be so throughout. Knowing exactly what Rome was, and is, and hearing something so glorious honestly made me cry, something no other piece of music had genuinely made me do before or since. An empire so boundless, so powerful, so wealthy, so influential and so immortal could seemingly never fall. But it did. An empire that falls to invasion can rise again, but one that crumbles from within is history forever. The invasions of the Great Migrators of Europe - the Goths, Vandals and the Huns in particular - obviously were the key catalyst to finishing off the Western Empire by the late 5th century AD, but Rome's internal political weaknesses started it, and the modern parallels are frighteningly familiar - its eventual granting of citizenship to anyone at will for the sake of more taxpayers, the de-funding and removal of patriotism and traditions from the army, the severe devaluing of the currency by nearly 1,000 times its original value from c.200 - 300 AD, an increase in unnecessary taxes and a loss of economic freedoms, the growth of the welfare state... So ancient an empire yet such a familiar cause of downfall to us, it is more important now than ever to ignore the people that claim 'no-one learns from history'. Understanding the proud history your ancestors built and defended so valiantly is so vital. Few really understand what happened to the empire and why it fell, because if we did all know, the size of the state today would have to be shrunk enormously. Teaching about how to shrink the size of the state in public schools/colleges/universities would of course be a conflict of interests for today's elite; the government is the main source of these education centre's wealth, so knowing of the truth won't come from those feeding off the state's power - a parasite wouldn't want to teach you how to remove itself from you. Our history today consists mostly of whining about ourselves - the terms "racist, imperialist, sexist, genocidal" in reference to Europe's history has bred generations of self-loathing peoples without a common cause for national prosperity. That is all simply an unforgivable attack on the virtues of future generations. Our truth is much different: the values of Socratic philosophy, logic, reason, science, the free market, medicine, capitalism, separation of church and state, innocent until proven guilty... all were propagated primarily by the west. If you are of the West, you are likely a child of Rome, and of the great nations born from it since. Your ancestors built, defended and gave unto you the greatest values and civilizations in history, and now it's your turn to defend these, so that your children may do the same. You are the children of heroes, and only heroes earn their freedom. This isn't just the anthem of an empire, this is the anthem of civilization itself. Boom it out loud proudly and defiantly, and bow down to no-one. With love from Britannia - ROMA INVICTA
The roman empire have fucked for 300 years all barbariand peoples making them vassals. But the general germanicus, when he have destroyed german tribes, don’t conquest definitly the territories because it was too expensive for the empire(making civil these people that live on literallity on house maked with their shit.)
Well after fall of West Rome there were Byzantines. And some say that Ottoman Empire was muslim Rome so if you are stubborn enough you can say that Rome fell after first world war
Power anthem, I will save it in my list. Also, I liked the description where you mention humility, acceptance, tolerance and understanding each other. Totally agree. Cheers mate!
The respect and love I have for Rome, its history and legacy, is unconditional and forever. The love Rome has for me is unconditional too it seems. It keeps coming back to me. We have always been connected!
imagine being a legionary and hearing this just before great battle against carthagians. You would gain so much mental power that you could fight with bare hands!
Everyday I wake up before dawn, at 5 am to go to work. Everything is tranquil at that hour. While I am driving I turn my eyes to the east, to watch the sun rising behind the mountains, illuminating the land with it's golden fire, sundering the night. Sometimes I can't help but play this song in my head and imagine the Romans during the Siege of Alesia fighting with everything they have. And then Caesar appearing at the top of the hill with his cavalry and charging into the rear of the Gallic army turning the tide of the battle. Perfect inspiration to face the hardships the day will bring.

@@Ignisbrand Rethink that, it's the Eastern Roman Empire. Emperor Constantine moved Rome's capital to what he calls, "Constantinople." Or modern day Istanbul, Turkey. Among their territories, was in fact Greece, so technically Greece was among the Roman Empire, even during it's peak in 117 AD. So, yeah, basically the Mediterranean area and Western Europe was apart of the Roman Empire.
