DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT AN ANCIENT HISTORICAL CHANT. This is modern song, made by me, in 2023. Some person somewhere decided to share this on TikTok, passing it off as an ancient Christian chant passed down through the ages. The info is all down there in the description. This is a ballad I wrote in the style of Greek folk music about an Eastern Roman political figure, not a historical Christian chant as some people who don't read descriptions decided to pass this off as all over Tiktok. This should not be confused for an actual historical song and certainly not one from the repertoire of Eastern Orthodoxy. kk thx for reading love you byee ❤ NOTE: The phrase "cum sanguis Sassanidarum" is incorrect, it should be sanguine Sassanidarum," my mistake. Music by Farya Faraji and Dimitris Athanasopoulos of the One Man's Noise channel who beautifully performed the tsambouna and mantura in the instrumentation of this piece. Many thanks to Luke Ranieri of the polýMATHY channel for helping transform my grammatically incoherent lyrics into something functional (although I still did some mistakes in the grammar in the end). Please note that this isn't reconstructed historical music, it's entirely modern music with a historical theme. Also note that the lyrics use Classical Latin Pronunciation, which has nothing to do with the historical context of Belisarius, at which point the many diverging dialects of Latin had changed immensely from the Classical Latin period; my usage of it is only pragmatic as it's the one pronunciation I'm used to, and one could make a thematic interpretation of it representing the dream of a restored Roman empire of the glory days, which correspond with Classical Latin's period. I wanted to write a ballad-like piece about Flavius Belisarius, an Eastern Roman general who would be Justinian the Great's greatest servant in the Renovatio Imperii of the 6th century, the project that would see the reconquest and retaking of much of the lands previously controlled by the Roman Empire of Antiquity. Each of the verses refers to one of the main campaigns of Belisarius' career, first his war against Gelimer and the Vandals in North Africa, then his wars in Italy against the Goths, his battles against Khosrow Anushirvan (immortal soul) in the Lazic Wars, his further battles in Italy where he implored Totila to spare the city of Rome in a moving letter, in the chance that Totila were to win, and his final service post-retirement against the Kutrigurs in the Balkans. The instrumentation is mainly based on a tsambouna, a Greek bagpipe very frequently played in the islands like the Cyclades and especially Crete, and a mantoura, a remnant of the Ancient Greek aulos, both expertly played by my collaborator Dimitris Athanasopoulos of the channel One Man's Noise, who perfectly took my basic melody and breathed into it the authentic rhythms and ornaments of Greek music, which contains echoes of older music of Belisarius' age, where the bagpipe was frequently used by the Eastern Romans. A mainland Laouto provides the backing chords, and a davul drum and darbuka provide the percussions as is typically the case in traditional Greek music. A low vocal hum supports the melody, inspired by the Ison of Byzantine Chant practice. The point of this was essentially to mix Latin lyrics with Byzantine Chant and a traditional Greek sound centred on the Cycladic-Cretan island sound. Lyrics in Latin: Gladius Rōmae imperī sum, Ubi’st nostrum imperium? Nē plōrā, mater Rōma, Dēnuō flōrēbis, Cīvis Romānus sum, Sed sine imperiō sum, Sanguine barbarōrum, Renāta erit Rōma!

Urbī ferro flammāque minatus est, Mementō, Totila, Rōmam antīquam esse, Sī rēx bonus es tū, nē nēlē rēgīnam nostram, Gladius Rōmae sum, Belisārius! Glaciēs Dānuviī sanguine Hunnōrum, rubrae factae sunt, Vāde, Zabergan, Attila nōn es tū, Gladius Rōmae sum, Belisārius! English translation: I am Rome's sword. Where is our empire? Weep not, mother Rome, again shall you prosper. A citizen of Rome I am, yet without an empire I am, In barbarians' blood shall Rome be reborn! The sands of Africa, with Vandals' blood, are turned red! Weep Gelimer, king without a kingdom, I am the sword of Rome, Belisarius! The gardens of Italy, with Goth's tears, are made fertile, Weep Goths, barbarians, I am the sword of Rome, Belisarius! The mountains of Lazica, with Sassanians' blood are turned red, Away, Khosrow, you mortal soul! I am the sword of Rome, Belisarius! The city is threatened with fire and sword, Remember Totila, how Rome is ancient, If you are a true king, destroy not our queen. The ices of the Danube, with Huns' blood, are turned red, Away, Zabergan, you are no Attila, I am the sword of Rome, Belisarius!
The tsambouna is also the prime instrument used in the Dodecanese Islands and Pontos as well. My extended family are masters of this instrument, and their family name is in fact Tsambounieris.
My children love this. My five year-old extracted a promise for me to tell him who Belisarius was tomorrow, because I told him it's a long story and that he was one of Rome's greatest generals. They then wanted to hear your Psalm 135 again.

Khosrow I of the Sassanid empire who was considered Justinian's toughest rival, gave himself the title "Anushirvan" meaning "Immortal Soul" so Belisarius calls him a "Mortal Soul" in this music. Classic
A truly underrated General and amazing character in the times he lived in. I love how melancholy the song is. Despite the great victories he won in his day, Belisarius was always mistrusted and given fewer and fewer resources to achieve these gains. I appreciate the somber tone and despite the “I am the sword of Rome, Belisarius!” It sounds more and more forlorn as the song carries on.
Especially considering the fact the conquests in the end didn't matter since in 100 years everything would fall to the Caliphate makes it even more somber

Belisarius. One of the greatest military commanders in the history of wars and human civilisation, who conducted the revival and resurrection of Roman empire. Truly the last of the Romans.
All empires are destined to end. Perhaps the imperial restoration could have worked if it was organised, but it was clear that the way of thinking was now old and Italy at the time was one of the poor economic areas.

Belisarius seems to come from that breed of magnificent generals who performed amazing feats in the name of their leaders, yet were held back from completing the task because the very leaders they swore fealty to grew envious of their achievements, such as Surena, Germanicus and Stilicho. History really does repeat itself.
Belisarius really should've taken the Goths offer to be western emperor. I mean he was roman and the ostrogoths were technically citizens of Rome anyways and they never technically declared Italy wasn't apart of the empire they just governed it in Rome's name and kept the Senate and other institutions running the roman latins were actually pretty fine being governed by the ostrogoths the only problem of course was they were Arian Christian which is why an ostrogoth was never made emperor and why Justinian wanted to "reconquer" Italy. Honestly recreating a legitimate western Roman empire was totally possible if Belisarius took the offer since no one declared it fell and believed until Justinian said so.
@Drewski 1996 Genuinely, that would have been the best course of action. Especially since the West was still pretty positively receptive to Constantinople. Like if there's any "barbarian" group Rome could have at least semi trusted, it would have been the Ostrogoths.

I just started learning about the Late Roman era and the great Belisarius caught my eyes. Thank you for creating such beautiful music to this great general.
As a Turkish, I loved this song and suprised a lot after see that you created this song. Before reading disclamer I was pretty sure that this is old musics rework. Congrats mate you are so succesfull. 🎉

What does being an Albanian Christian liking this song more?? I am Albanian Muslim and I still like the song as much.

I found this song by chance on UA-cam, and I admit, I got hooked. It's excellent to use in my history classes of the Byzantine Empire when showing the deeds of Belisarius.
A blessed combination I did not know I needed, the rythm and the lyrics kept me in trance with the song. Truly a song worthy of a name as big as Belisarius, love it.
In love with this piece, this is the kind of songs I imagine Belisarius and his Boukellarioi would sing. The wonderful Latin lyrics coupled with the Greek bagpipe really highlight the dual cultures of the Eastern Roman Empire. I'm actually a bit surprised tbh that you didn't use the gaida since Belisarius, like Justinian, was a Thracian/Illyrian and it would have been a really nice opportunity, but the tsambouna was fire enough already I suppose. Also, love how you called Khosrow a mortal soul, sick burn for the Anushiravan.
Good point, I did consider using the gaida but then it would have made it too close to the other pieces I did with it, especially Boulgaroktónos. I’ve really leaned on Thracian styles alot so I preferred changing it up this time around
Of course since the thracian romans spoke latin and were part of the ERE! They later got displaced by the avars and bulgars and became the romanians and aromanians
I'm a 21 yro girl from Italy and I'm proud of the history of the Romans, even though people forget too often that the Empire continued in its Byzantine form until 1453. ❤
Really good stuff again and I love the mix of Latin lyrics with greek instrumentals which really highlight the cultural duality in the Eastern Roman empire at the time. You've now done Theodora, Narses and Belisarius. Only Justsinian himself is left of the famous 6th century quartet
Don't forget Belisarius' wife Antonina, she was of great importance to both Belisarius and Theodora and helped to achieve many things during Belisarius' campaign

-"No, we had one of the most powerful kingdoms in the Mediterranean, you can't just invade with a tiny army and completely conquer it!"
-"Cry about it lol"
"Away zabergan you're no attila" is pretty cold too, it shows Attila's influence on both sides. And I think what both sides have in common is their respect for Attila.
@@MustafaAtaccI wonder would Belisarius say "you are no Attila" to Bayan Khagan?
this entire piece is an ancient diss track
The Ostrogothic and Vandalic Kings have been real quiet since this dropped.
As someone with Tyrolian origins, heard they pretend to be Italian or Austrian nowadays.

A truly underrated General and amazing character in the times he lived in.
I love how melancholy the song is. Despite the great victories he won in his day, Belisarius was always mistrusted and given fewer and fewer resources to achieve these gains. I appreciate the somber tone and despite the “I am the sword of Rome, Belisarius!” It sounds more and more forlorn as the song carries on.
The powers of antiquity were very ungrateful of their true heroes in general, which brought about their ends.
@@yaqubebased1961 tbf if those generals became too succesful they would usualy take your empire over
Justinian feared him. He had so much power, after completing the conquest of vandal Africa and gothic Italy.
He is not underrated at all
Especially considering the fact the conquests in the end didn't matter since in 100 years everything would fall to the Caliphate makes it even more somber

The most slept on and underatted general in history, Belisarius is beyond a legend
Flavyus Belisarius Mundus Narses Kanlı jonsh Jons Targetle Romanın son büyük generalleri
Belisarius seems to come from that breed of magnificent generals who performed amazing feats in the name of their leaders, yet were held back from completing the task because the very leaders they swore fealty to grew envious of their achievements, such as Surena, Germanicus and Stilicho. History really does repeat itself.
Aetius too
And Emperor Aurelian who got murdered despite being the best emperor in decades
Belisarius really should've taken the Goths offer to be western emperor. I mean he was roman and the ostrogoths were technically citizens of Rome anyways and they never technically declared Italy wasn't apart of the empire they just governed it in Rome's name and kept the Senate and other institutions running the roman latins were actually pretty fine being governed by the ostrogoths the only problem of course was they were Arian Christian which is why an ostrogoth was never made emperor and why Justinian wanted to "reconquer" Italy. Honestly recreating a legitimate western Roman empire was totally possible if Belisarius took the offer since no one declared it fell and believed until Justinian said so.
Or the most popular ones, Scipio and Yi Sun Shin.
@Drewski 1996 Genuinely, that would have been the best course of action. Especially since the West was still pretty positively receptive to Constantinople. Like if there's any "barbarian" group Rome could have at least semi trusted, it would have been the Ostrogoths.
If only Belisarius could know that almost 1500 years after his death people would still be singing songs about his victories....
Perhaps he does see.

In love with this piece, this is the kind of songs I imagine Belisarius and his Boukellarioi would sing. The wonderful Latin lyrics coupled with the Greek bagpipe really highlight the dual cultures of the Eastern Roman Empire. I'm actually a bit surprised tbh that you didn't use the gaida since Belisarius, like Justinian, was a Thracian/Illyrian and it would have been a really nice opportunity, but the tsambouna was fire enough already I suppose.
Also, love how you called Khosrow a mortal soul, sick burn for the Anushiravan.
Good point, I did consider using the gaida but then it would have made it too close to the other pieces I did with it, especially Boulgaroktónos. I’ve really leaned on Thracian styles alot so I preferred changing it up this time around
Of course since the thracian romans spoke latin and were part of the ERE! They later got displaced by the avars and bulgars and became the romanians and aromanians
