Ancient Roman | Ambience & Music - Emperor Augustus' Balcony
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 вер 2024
- 21 BC: The Empire has entered an era of peace after a tumultuous decade. With a long day of work in the Senate behind you, you retire to your private chambers and decide to relax on your baclony on a mild summer night. The lights of Rome flicker below you as you take a sip of mulled red wine. The world is yours. And the people of Rome sleep undisturbed tonight.

Can totally imagine Augustus, Agrippa, and Maecenas just relaxing and drinking wine.

Brings a tear to the eye
Yes
It would be a nice touch to add the muffle screams of Augustus as he angrily curses Varus.
"Quintilli Vare, legiones rede!!"
@@roselightmoon what does it means
@@jh-ij4by "Quintilius Varus, bring me back my legions" Augustus said this after he learned that he lost his legions in the Teutoburg Forest under the command of his general Quintilius Varus.
@@roselightmoon thank you your knowledge amazes me how did learn this fact? on wiki, youtube or a book
This is really really delayed, and I’m not OP, but I personally learned this from Mike Duncan’s the history of rome
My father, Quintus Pompeius Senecio Sosius Priscus, used to bring me here every summer as a child and we would drink wine together. Oh the good old old old old day!
I bring blessings and greetings to you, Quintus Pompeius Senecio Roscius Murena Coelius Sextus Iulius Frontinus Silius Decianus Gaius Iulius Eurycles Herculaneus Lucius Vibullius Pius Augustanus Alpinus Bellicius Sollers Iulius Aper Ducenius Proculus Rutilianus Rufinus Silius Valens Valerius Niger Claudius Fuscus Saxa Amyntianus Sosius Priscus! May the Gods favour you.

Reading "Meditations" from Marcus Aurelius and listening to this. Very inspiring
Wonderful! "Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one."
@@roselightmoon Literally "JUST DO IT" before it was cool
bestie same !!
same here :D
I've been searching for something like this for ages. All the others are way too loud and busy. This is perfect! - Currently reading Cicero's letters.
OMG SAME I'm translating/reading Cicero's Pro sexto roscio.
I’m unfamiliar with Roman History. I just searched up Cicero’s Letters and it sounds like an interesting read! Any suggestions on where to start if I want to start getting into Rome, it’s famous people and Roman History? Thanks! 😊
I’m reading Cicero’s De Natura Deorum!
@@blueskiesandclouds5596 Make sure you read pliny the youngers epistles
“Now we can end the proscription.”
Finally something soothing. The rest always seem to turn into epic battle scene soundtracks. Excellent, thanks for making this.
thank you so much! Yes, we've tried to create something more mellow you can use to study or just chill out to.
Listening while journaling stoic lessons 💪🏻
May Marcus Aurelius guide you!
I have my Roman law midterm in two days, revising my notes to this music is so chill
Thank you so much, and good luck on your midterm ,Tae!
Love this! I love Rome and it's history so much. Augustus was a great man and my great inspiration, and also Julius Caesar is my inspiration. Love to read about them. And love to draw and paint them. Soon I'm going to Rome again for the fourth time. When I'm in my hotelroom at night I will play this, and really feel the spirit of Rome.....🏛❤
Thank you so much for the kind message and sharing your enthusiasm about the great people of Rome. A lot of us on this channel feel the same way. I hope you spend a beautiful time in Rome and hopefully enjoy my music on a mellow evening, just as Augustus does in this video. ❤️ Let me know how it goes!
@@roselightmoon Thank you so much for your nice comment, I didn't expect that. I see this channel has more ambiences & music, that is Inspired by Ancient Rome.
I absolutely love that, because I've loved Rome almost all my life. I was 13 years of age when Rome conquered my heart and soul, now I'm 41. Rome and me will be connected forever.....I subscribed to your channel!😉❤
@@777peacelove thank you so much for your subscription! Means a lot :') I've been fascinated with Rome ever since probably a similar age to what you mentioned 13 / 14. Never ceases to amaze me. Gratias tibi ago, citizen!
Lucky you I love Rome my favourite city in the whole universe. I've only been once but will go back again definitely with my husband to be. He has never been to Rome. I am obsessed with everything ancient Rome
@@lisashears1399 I feel the same way. Rome is also my favorite city in the whole universe. It means everything to me! In total I have been in Rome 4 times, but it won't definitely be the last time, I keep wanting to go back. I hope for you that you can go back, with your husband. And when you are there, I hope it will be the happiest time for you both, I hope you enjoy it to the fullest!😃👍
Reading through Suetonius’ “Twelve Caesars” right now and this is perfect
Twelve Caesars is amazing! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Ooh~! I have that on my bookshelf
Because of you I stopped procrastinating and managed to get C on Latin test , this ambience merged around me. And I managed to get this done . Thank you
congratulations and thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it and that it helped with your Latin studies :)
Hi! I have this in the background as I study for my Latin exam now... because I'm studying about Roman literature and culture - I need to get in the mood haha. So thanks for making this
This is wonderful to hear! Thank you so much for your feedback. And good luck on your Latin exams!! SPQR
@@hugejackedman7423 Tace, fututor! Per Iove, ego vidi nunquam ferocia haec!
I am using this too , to focus on my latin exam :D This really helps , thank you
I'm just starting to read Seneca's letters to Lucilius and I was looking for something quiet and soothing. Thanks for posting this.
Do ambient on Ptolemaic Egypt Alexandria Cleopatra and ambient on Babylon Alexander the Great
Thank you for your suggestions Lawrence, we're trying to compile some idea for our 100 subscribers video.
@@roselightmoon thanks
I’m reading the Aeneid to this and it’s perfect.
Subbed exactly what I wanted. Make more
Thank you! We will get back to making more Ambience music very soon.
reading John Williams great "Augustus" to this
I can just picture a group of legionaries sitting by a camp fire telling stories
I really appreciate the no adds, I can really sink into my book and the theme without the interuptions, thank you. This is wonderful 💞
You're so welcome!! We won't be introducing ads on many of the music. Perhaps at a later stage, we will introduce some perks for fans via Patreon etc, but it's important that we keep our ambience music ad free. Enjoy your reading :))
I just ordered Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.
Thank you for this inspirational music and cheers to the lovely and cultured people in the comments!
Fantastic work of literature by Marcus A. hope you enjoy it as well as the music :)
Sounds good
Ave, mighty Caesar.
Simply AMAZING. Roman History is really fascinating. Thank you so much, you earned a new subscriber :)
Thank you so much for subscribing :) Hope you enjoy!
I am so obsessed... Ive been reading Gaius Julius Caesar's commentaries in Latin and this makes them SO real. You deserve trillions of followers. Your music is making my life so perfect! Im always reading Latin texts and now I have the perfect music to listen to!! Its PERFECT! Also perfect as background music for a party or to rest to 😴 I love!!
Oh yes, I remember those nights.
The empreor himself! It is my honor as a humble citizen to share your impeccable august presence with my viewers here. Ave Caesar Augusti.
I feel like am empress listening to this
As you should ☺
Listening to this as I read "I, Claudius"
I discovered this yesterday and love it so much! Currently reading a book set in Rome/Ravenna, so this is so fitting for playing in the background ♥
Amazing, I'm glad you like it :) what's the book called?
@@roselightmoon It's "A struggle for Rome" by Felix Dahn, a historical novel from the 19th century about the battle between the Ostrogoths and Romans to gain/keep the predominance of the roman empire (based on the historical events in the 6th century a.d.). A bit oldfashioned, but beautiful language and rather epic :)
@@mariaharu No, no, that sounds wonderful! I'll have to add it to my list of Roman History literature. Thank you for mentioning that :))
@@roselightmoon yes, thank you both!
Somebody needs to give whoever made this a laurel wreath.
this has skyrocketed to the top of my list of favorite ambience videos. it's just so... exactly what I was looking for. perhaps as companion pieces you could do basically this same video but for Han Wudi, Cyrus, Alexander, Ramesses and/or Ashoka. Liked and subbed, cheers to you
That's a great idea actually! We're looking to complete our Roman ambience list for the public playlist and will get on to more themes once it's done. Thank you so much for sharing your views / feedback. And of course, thank you for helping our channel grow by subscribing. As a small creator we really appreciate it ^^
I’m so happy I live in a time where I can visit worlds and periods with the touch of a finger
Would love to say that I'm relaxing to this and reviewing my notes for my Ancient History exam tomorrow morning, when in actuality I am properly cramming in dates and AO1 about the battle of Actium.
Always felt drawn to Augustus though. Tiberius, Gaius, Claudius, and Nero never gave me the same feelings as Augustus did. Wonder if that's how the people of Rome felt. Can never truly trust the sources.
Hiii, I saw this just now, so I hope your Ancient History exam went well! That sounded like a lot of work @_@
I studied the Roman emperors from the Julian dynasty and must agree with you. There's a wonderful book I read a while back about Octavian. It's supposed to be a biography, but it portrays his life through the eyes of some of his friends and relatives. It's very well written. I have to find it again since the title slipped my mind, but I'll paste a link once I do!
@@roselightmoon It went better than expected, thank you :)
The first question was on how Augustus managed to create a succession - so I just used the Second Constitutional Settlement of 23BC? Hope thats right.
Next was on how much the battle of Actium impacted the people positively. We also had to look at a poem from Horace and a section from Vellius. I noticed Anthony wasn't mentioned so I brought that up.
Last was about how consistent the emperors were with the imperial cult and I said fairly, apart from the second part of Gaius' reign.
But yeah despite minimal revision I'm so glad the stuff I knew came up.
I keep coming back to this one, thank you for it!
Thank you, Ashley! Glad you enjoy this little atmospheric ambient music :)
I listen to this every night when reading Marcus Aurelius's Meditations. This is great!
thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Was reading Meditations recently and it's such a great piece of work on Stoicism.
This is beautiful, just beautiful. Tank you very much!!
thank you Rodrigo, you're so welcome!
The Romans knew how to live with all forms of pleasure and self-indulgence up for grabs
I listen to it every night after work🤩
Hey Martino, so glad you're enjoying our music! Thank you :)
im writing a paper for my ancient roman class and this really sets the mood thank you
Lovely, what a great monochromatic view as well!
Would be lovely to have one for the temple of vestals.great work!
Reading a book, smoking and enjoying the fresh wine my servant has fetched me. One for all of Rome shall have a taste for. Goodnight peasants
This is great for writing my essay. And I love the story you wrote in your description~
thank you so much :) I always try to add a little scene to the different ambience themes haha
Currently reading Imperium by Robert Harris about Cicero's early antics in politics. Putting this on is absolutely perfect
Robert Harris is fantastic, always enjoyed his writing, especially with Imperium on Cicero. I'm really glad the music fit the reading!
Amazing trilogy
Is that what a Roman lyre sounded like? It’s beautiful.
the original instrument was described as a Roman Lyre, however some commentators here mentioned that it could be a Rennaissance instrument or guitar. Of that I am not entirely sure since both sounds are eerily familiar.
@@roselightmoon Interesting. Pretty neat anyways.
Baroque Lute
idk y, but having this on in the background makes me feel like I'm illegally studying because I'm female. And of course, that just motivates me even more to do it. Love this
So sad that there's ads on this now. Totally breaks the mood.
I don't have ads activated on this video
:( it's most likely one of the audios being monetized in your geolocation. I can't change that unfortunately
Perfect! Hail caesar glory to Rome SPQR
May we have an ambience for Giaus Julius Caesar and one for Nero or his mum Agrippina the Younger. Even better one for the Forum. Thank you this is fantastic to have a page of like minded people who love everything ancient Rome. SPQR (The Senate and the People of Rome).
This helped me sleep.
Anything from classical Rome is starting to sound eerily familiar to modern life.
Studying roman law with this amazing thing
I'm so glad it's helping with studying. What a cool subject!
@@roselightmoon Thanks a lot🙏🏻❤️
Very cool!
This is awesome
This takes me back to my hometown of Pompeii before the mountain exploded
I'm currently studying roman law and this motivates me sm!!
I was looking for a Caligula one but this one is so good!! From now on I'll be using your videos to study!!
Could you do an ambience for Caligula? If it isn't too much to ask. Thanks!!!
thank you so much Martina, in fact I've had another subscriber who was specifically studying Caligula's influence on the Senate, so the idea def intrigues me.
@@roselightmoon thank u!! :))
This is truly amazing
Thank you Ismail, glad you enjoyed it!
Love this ❤
I was looking for something to listen to while reading Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations, this is perfect, now all I need is a fine Italian wine.
wine o'clock! 🍷 :D enjoy!!
May u recommend a Falernian wine the best.
Ave Augustus, father of Italia! 🇮🇹
Reading The Love Artist by Jane Alison. This is absolute perfection. Thank you!
just had to look up the title and honestly I'm going to read it. Anything about Ovid is bound to be beautiful.
I finished it a couple hours ago. It was beautifully written, but I don’t read a lot of historical fiction. So I wasn’t totally vibing with it. I really hope you end up loving it though!
@@spoopywife interesting! I enjoyed reading historical texts (ancient fiction) such as the Illiad, so I think I might actually really enjoy it. Thanks for mentioning, and I'm glad you enjoyed the ambience :')
Parfait pour lire Plutarque ! (Vie de Sylla)
Plutarque est une excellente lecture, merci beaucoup.
10 hour version? I just did studied for 12 hours to this. Thank you
you can tell my brain is dead lol
that's amazing haha thank u so much! I'll make longer versions of the most popular ambience at some point I think
I wonder what a Byzantine ambient track would sound like... 😳 haha just kidding... unless? 👀
Interesting inspiration! 🤔....the Eastern Roman Empire...btw Thank you so much for subscribing!
@@roselightmoon omg for sure, I really like your videos!!
Reading 48 laws of power to this
So peaceful!
great stuff, but unfortunately youtube has an add popping up every 3 minutes.
It wouldn't be so quiet. It was at night that all the cart traffic moved in the city of Rome that was forbidden in the day.
Nice.
....emperor Aurelius....is that you?
@@roselightmoon I am simply a little soul carrying about a corpse, as Epictetus used to say.
@@marcusaurelius5742 a learned stoic, as is well for men of greatness, Princeps.
I was wrong idealizing this man.
This is SO GOOOD. This is a treasured keeper. Thank you! This goes perfectly with my Samhain 🔥 ritual honoring the release of old ghosts and invoking love from coming winter. 🪓🪵🔥🥰🙏🏻
Blessed Samhain to you, may the goddess love and protect you this coming winter. 🍁
Reading Seneca to this, than you 💜
"wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness."
I love Seneca's stoic works, I'm glad you're enjoying the music along with his brilliant work 💙
Im slowly becoming a Roman geek because of shit like this. Roman stuff is so cool 💪😎 🔥
welcome to the family, citizen!

What is the name of the music playing? Thank you🌹🌸
I have enough of our times. I want to live in ancient Rome of 1st century BC/AD
nice
Nice, now how about emperor neros balcony?
Indeed. I have yet to find the perfect lyre sound to fit the scene!
thanks my gamer
How can I find the track by Robert De Visee?
Could you upload these tracks somewhere to be of higher (sound) quality than they would be on youtube? Its not like im an audiophile, but why be restricted at something like 100 kbps
Hey! I have all my audio files saved at 256 kbps and also 6D. I will upload these for my Patreons to use offline once we are at 10K :)
What's with the mosquito sounds
Have you ever been to Rome?
not yet unfortunately :) I have been to Athens, but Rome is up there on the bucket list!

@@roselightmoon thank you so much!
Thank you for making this video ad-free, but I play this on loop around my house and the introduction music is very jarring/unpleasant/loud...
Hey there! Thank you so much for listening! Another user pointed this out and I have been thinking of taking the intro out of future videos. I would like to submit this proposal to my subscribers but UA-cam doesn't allow me to make polls until I reach 1k subs. Next video will be intro-free :)
@@roselightmoon Thanks, if you do that, it would be really wonderful if you also re-uploaded atmospheres like this one, even if they're just Unlisted videos linked in the description or something.
@@SawyerSGN that's a great idea, I'll most likely use a link in the bio of each video as I work through them.
@@roselightmoon Hi again, 4 months and I'm still listening to this atmosphere. Do you still plan on reuploading a version without the intro music? thank you
@@SawyerSGN hey Nichols, definitely am, my devices are giving me most of the trouble at the moment with video compositing times. I'm trying to find a workaround in the meantime. Thanks so much for sticking with me, I'm never uploading intros on my future music :)
I’m unfamiliar with Roman History. A legit beginner. Any suggestions on what books I should start reading if I want to get into Roman History and it’s famous people? Thanks!! ✨😌
Start with Steven Saylor’s Rome series (Roma, Empire, Dominus)
Than merge your self in Simon Scarrow’s Eagle series.
You will be a huge fan of Ancient Rome these books capture your soul never ever let you read anything else than books themed about Ancient Rome.
Have fun on the road! 😁
@@semeredyalexandra7859 thank you!!
Could be nicer maybe if the instrument was a harp or something, or is it?
My Roman Name is Octavius Maximus
Its perfect. Just the church bell seems off. There were no churches in ancient rome.
were there pianos?)
The idea is very nice, but the music... definitely not "Ancient Roman". It's chamber music.
noice
Hey! What is the specific track name by De Visee used in this?
Hi! unfortunately the track was indexed as "Lute #2" on the CC site, I am not sure what the specific track name is.
Oh, Roma...!
