You can buy this track and more of my work here: faryafaraji.bandcamp.com/album/voices-of-the-ancients-vol-iii Music and vocals by Farya Faraji. Please note that this is not a historically accurate reconstruction of actual Ancient Roman music, but rather modern music using Roman instruments and its modal framework. The Evocati were soldiers in the Roman army who had received their honorable discharge after completing their service, but enlisted once again at the request of an important general or politician. The Evocati enjoyed a a more prestigious status than most soldiers in the army as older, battle-hardened veterans who had returned to war, and were often equated in status with the equites class; many of them becoming centurions. The music uses the principal instrumental palette of Ancient Roman music: a lyre, an aulos and a pan flute. The percussions are more thematic and creative: I overlaid dozens of sounds of shields and spears being smashed together to exude a militaristic sound. The lyrics are pieced together from different sources: modern military mottoes and Ancient Roman texts. I used the reconstructed Classical Pronunciation accurate to the time span of Classical Latin (75 BC to AD 3rd century), and took into account both the stress accent of Latin as well as its phonemic vowel length, basing myself on Ancient Greek practice: therefore, as with Ancient Greek historical practice, the stressed accent of a word has the musical accent on it, and long vowels are demarcated from shorter ones either by being sung longer, or having melismas (more than one note) on them. Lyrics in Latin: Rōmule, vigilāmus prō te, Audācia et fortitūdō, Audācia et fortitūdō, Prō focīs et patria, Sīc itur ad astra, Rōmule, vigilāmus prō te, Inter hastās, ferte manūs certās, Inter hastās, ferte manūs certās, Prō focīs et patria, Sīc itur ad astra, Rōmule, vigilāmus prō te, Dūcit amor, patriae, quō fās et glōria dūcunt, Prō focīs et patria, Sīc itur ad astra, English translation: Romulus, we stand vigil for thee, Audacity and fortitude, For home and country, Such is the pathway to the stars, Romulus, we stand vigil for thee, Between spears, strike with a firm hand, For home and country, Such is the pathway to the stars, Romulus, we stand vigil for thee, I am lead by love of country, to that place where right and glory lead, For home and country, Such is the pathway to the stars! Romulus, we stand vigil for thee!
@@yuukiranze Most evidence dipects that he was in charge of the province of dacia during the crisis of the third century. If he declared himself emperor during that time period it would have been short reign as obscure as he is, it would not make a good choice. I think emperors like gallieanus and valerian who fought the goths and the sassanids (especially valerian) or Aurelian and Diocletian would be better choices.
@@marcus4046 I know all you have said but still thank you. I thought a song about an emperor lost in history would be nice. Valerian, Aurelian and Diocletian would be good too, I don't know much about Gallienus tho.

Oricum, este clar ca in buna parte descindem din nativii daci, exact cum in buna parte descindem din romanii cuceritori. Dacii nu ar fi fost in numar ''prea mic'' dupa cucerire, rareori oastea unui popor la acea vreme era mai mare de 5-10% din populatie (asta daca nu vorbim de popoare migratoare precum hunii sau maghiarii). Cat despre geti, nu, nu erau iranieni. Faci confuzie cu roxolanii. Acestia da, erau un popor iranian, popoarele iraniene dominand la acea vreme Asia Centrala de unde au cucerit Rusia, Ucraina si Polonia actuala precum si Nordul Indiei si Pakistanul. Cei ce au cucerit nordul Indiei si Pakistanul erau europeni care apoi si-au luat femei native, exact cum si romanii si-au luat femei dacice in Dacia Romana. Iranienii din Europa erau de sange 100% european. Tiganii (abuziv numiti mai nou ''rromani'') nu au treaba genetic cu acei iranieni aproape de loc. Tiganii sunt aproape complet descendentii celor cuceriti de europenii veniti in India. Da, le-au adoptat limba si in parte cultura europenilor cuceritori, dar doar in mica parte s-au amestecat cu ei.

Dude chill...... you're literally in the center of Western Civilization and Rome is the center of Western Civilization and Christianity! Be proud, Roma is once again great!
Evocati were hardened Roman veterans after 25+ years of service that didnt have enough and came back to legions. I cannot imagine how extremaly tough, skilled and dangerous these men were after 2,5 decades of everyday treainings, building camps, marching 30+ miles, battling hordes of barbarian savages, pillaging and looting countless cities. Especially during last century of Republic or crisis of the 3rd century. These men had to have propably like 400% more testosterone than modern men have
@@magnithorsson2154 Of course it was propaganda. "Barbarian" was a term used by Greeks and Romans alike to differentiate themselves from every other people they didn't find "worthy" enough. The Germanic peoples were skillful in their crafts and were living in small hamlets made of clay and wood, living from agriculture primarily, but they were also trading. Their societies were perfectly adapted to their life realities. Do you seriously think it is adequate to take the things Romans called their enemies as a fact? There are no barbarians, just different peoples with different life realities and different solutions for these life realities. Hunter gatherers are not primitive in their way of life, they simply utilise a different solution to the task of making a living, and very successfully so. Using the term "barbarian" indicates either ignorance or arrogance.
You are the only musician I’ve ever encountered that truly can send someone’s imagination back to the time period - it’s like I’m in the Roman camp as these elitists march in, to the bewilderment of the auxiliaries. Truly amazing stuff.

I don't think I have heard anyone use the Aulos as well as you have in these Roman-Byzantine tracks you made. There's just something that hits different when the double pipes are played in such war-like melodies and the lower tones. I just simply love how they make the cultural aspect of these Greco-Roman periods and the music they (theoretically) used. Even if they're just modern music, you really knock it out of the park in usage of these ancient instruments. Though I'm not going to ignore your other great works of Turkish and Iranian songs, you are a wonderful composer and artist. I look forward to hearing more!
I'm not gonna lie, I've been absolutely obsessed with THIS song in particular since it was released. Something about it's lyrics. The patriotism, the profession of love for country and home, together with the promise to defend that. Its almost as if I needed to hear this. In a time when even my faith in home wanes occasionally, this helps remind me of my patriotism. That its not all bleak and disparaging so long as there exist those hold this that they call home close to their hearts, and are willing to defend it from all foes, foreign *and* domestic. To face mortality for love of home, family, and country. Sic Itur Ad Astra
Finnish translation: Romulus pysymme valppaana sinulle, Pelottomuus ja mielenlujuus, kodille ja maalle, sellainen on tie tähtiin Romulus pysymme valppaana sinulle, Keihäiden välissä, iske vankalla kädellä, kodille ja maalle, sellainen on tie tähtiin, Romulus pysymme valppaana sinulle, Minua johtaa maan(i) rakkaus, paikkaan jossa oikeus ja kunnia johtaa, kodille ja maalle, sellainen on tie tähtiin!

Something I always wonder when you upload Roman themed pieces, is if you will at one point cover the battle of Teutoburg Forest. Which is probably one of the most famous battles of Rome against the germanic tribes. That being said, as usual you created another piece of immersive acoustic art. Always a pleasure to see a new upload :D
I heard Romans can also pledge this in Greek, can we get a Latin and Greek version? Edit: more than halfway into the song and it is awesome! Another amazing work Farya and I am excited to see your next upload wether it be Byzantine/Medieval Roman, Persian, or other as long as it's from you I will love it
It sounds so similar to Greek music especially Up Greece... Idk what's it called.. North?.. I'm bad at English. But yeah they even use the same instruments!
Hello Farya, the songs you make give me a very good energy. I feel stronger. It takes the stress out of my daily life and helps me find myself. Thanks a lot. Greetings from Turkey. 🇹🇷
I feel like I'm making huge jumps between both time and space while listening to Farya's music... it takes an effort to realise how I really feel deep within. But its definitely beautiful feelings all around, and lots of positive vibes in the air💚🙏🏻 Thank you always
Verdade, quando eu procuro música em Latim, só tem versões medievais de sons católicos. Ou então versões mais modernas com cantantes, americanos ou ingleses. Que tbm não soa igual ao orinal. Agora de este grupo ou pessoas da Turquia está muito bom, tanto a apresentação ( som musical), quanto as canções antigas romanas, como cantos de guerras e invocações de Deuses antigos. Achei muito bom. Mesmo que na descrição ele diga, que seja dito que não é uma versão 100% igual ao orinal. Pelo menos é algo bem próximo.
The length of enlistment in the Roman military was a lot longer than that in the modern militaries. The length of Roman service was closer to the length of military service that would qualify for retirement in the US and other western militaries. The modern counterpart to the Evocati would be those who were called back into active duty from the retired reserve. This would be many of us if World War III started, a major conflict occurred that required expanding the size of the military, the US gets invaded, etc. So, when someone wonders if 38-40 is too young to retire someone from the military, with pension and benefits, remember, that person is still in the military and is liable to become the modern version of the Evocatus. At this point, "military service" is "indefinite."
"Beware of a old man in a profession where men usually die young"' or as I like to say "youth and exuberance is no match for old age and treachery" The Evocati in a nutshell ladies and gentlemen. IMHO, anyone who receives the Honesta missio and reenlists to fight for his Imperator commands the highest forms of honor and respect.

Dear Farya, first of all, I would like to thank you for your incredible work, the music you make is just outstanding, especially for people like me who are interested in ancient history, namely ancient Rome. Well, I know it might sound a like a dumb idea but I was wondering if you could make the "Adeste fideles" Christmas song, but make it somewhat more Roman or Roman sounding (or just epic in general). I got this wish because no version of this song sounds right for me, especially now that I started learning Latin and I prefer the classical pronunciation. Thanks again for the great work, I really appreciate it! JJP

Not just a great empire THE greatest empire the world has and will ever see!
You are the only musician I’ve ever encountered that truly can send someone’s imagination back to the time period - it’s like I’m in the Roman camp as these elitists march in, to the bewilderment of the auxiliaries. Truly amazing stuff.
Just a few seconds in, this hits different! Amazing job with this piece!
This is one of, if not my favorite songs. Sic itur ad astra has actually turned into a saying for me, something to help me stay the course and continue improving my life.
Such is the path to the stars.
Keep it up, man. You're doing a lot of good.

I think after Julius Caesar there should come Augustus first. Maybe followed by the battle of Teutoburg.

@Kerimcan Mikail just remix the dovah clip in farya's style lol
I would one about Zenobia! Most never heard of a Roman dowager-Empress who took control of the East

The detail in the care of Classical Latin phonetics is admirable :O
I don't think I have heard anyone use the Aulos as well as you have in these Roman-Byzantine tracks you made. There's just something that hits different when the double pipes are played in such war-like melodies and the lower tones. I just simply love how they make the cultural aspect of these Greco-Roman periods and the music they (theoretically) used. Even if they're just modern music, you really knock it out of the park in usage of these ancient instruments. Though I'm not going to ignore your other great works of Turkish and Iranian songs, you are a wonderful composer and artist. I look forward to hearing more!
Una vez más me encanta tu música, un saludo desde España!
Muchas gracias, saludos desde Canada
Farya Faraji casually making the best music known to man because he feels like it
Farya, looking forwards to your Epic of Augustus!
Looks like Dacia finally got their reference
Proud Dacian
I'm not gonna lie, I've been absolutely obsessed with THIS song in particular since it was released.
Something about it's lyrics. The patriotism, the profession of love for country and home, together with the promise to defend that.
Its almost as if I needed to hear this.
In a time when even my faith in home wanes occasionally, this helps remind me of my patriotism.
That its not all bleak and disparaging so long as there exist those hold this that they call home close to their hearts, and are willing to defend it from all foes, foreign *and* domestic.
To face mortality for love of home, family, and country.
Sic Itur Ad Astra
Exquisite work! I adore everything about it.
Couldn’t be more honoured coming from you Luke!
Finnish translation:
Romulus pysymme valppaana sinulle,
Pelottomuus ja mielenlujuus,
kodille ja maalle,
sellainen on tie tähtiin
Romulus pysymme valppaana sinulle,
Keihäiden välissä, iske vankalla kädellä,
kodille ja maalle,
sellainen on tie tähtiin,
Romulus pysymme valppaana sinulle,
Minua johtaa maan(i) rakkaus, paikkaan jossa oikeus ja kunnia johtaa,
kodille ja maalle,
sellainen on tie tähtiin!
Romulus pysymme valppaana sinulle!

Something I always wonder when you upload Roman themed pieces, is if you will at one point cover the battle of Teutoburg Forest. Which is probably one of the most famous battles of Rome against the germanic tribes. That being said, as usual you created another piece of immersive acoustic art. Always a pleasure to see a new upload :D
I would love to see another song like the Fall of Constantinople, with competing lyrics in two different languages.
or better Yet.
Germanicus' campaign of vengeance
I’d definitely make one but I’ll have to put my hands on reconstructed Proto-Germanic lyrics first; when I do though, it’ll certainly be done!
Battle of what? Never happened
@@faryafaraji make it about the 19th stationed at Aliso/modern day Haltern.
Your work is above the praise common men can invoke, oh noble cantator!
Thank God for Farya Faraji. Through him I travel in time and meet my favorite empire 🙏🖤
This is an incredibly authentic piece: the vocals and the interesting choice of instruments makes me believe it's real! Great job.
Шикарный трек. Аутентичный, сделан с душой и в видеоиграх серии rome total war отлично подходит.
Thank you all for your hard work to create this masterpiece. ❤
I simply love when you do Roman music. Great work as always!
I heard Romans can also pledge this in Greek, can we get a Latin and Greek version?
Edit: more than halfway into the song and it is awesome! Another amazing work Farya and I am excited to see your next upload wether it be Byzantine/Medieval Roman, Persian, or other as long as it's from you I will love it
Assino em baixo sua última frase! Sendo dele, com certeza adorarei. O talento deste homem é ímpar, singular.
It sounds so similar to Greek music especially Up Greece... Idk what's it called.. North?.. I'm bad at English. But yeah they even use the same instruments!
@@ogrynmod1765 are you talking about the region Of Macedon?
has you been last emperor who spoke latin.... so Greek version is not needed... :D

Underrated Artist
Hello Farya, the songs you make give me a very good energy. I feel stronger. It takes the stress out of my daily life and helps me find myself. Thanks a lot. Greetings from Turkey. 🇹🇷
You are a true roman brother. Peace to you
زنده باشین، آقای فرجی! همهی کاراتون شگفتانگیزه و آدم رو طلسم میکنه. درود بر شما از سرزمین بلغارستان!
Опять классная песня которую я обязательно добавлю к себе. Спасибо за труды!
This is beautiful, thank you Brother, for all that you do. 💪❤
Mesmerizing and exciting, it sounds like celebrating a conquest at the battle camps🦅
It is so so relaxing I love these roman vibs plz don't stop your music is so amazing 😭😭😭💕
Majestic... Listening this on my way to the history department in my university feels different, amazing job as always brother \[T]/
Great job, this is comfort to the soul.
The people demanded more of Rome . AND HE DELIVERED MORE OF ROME .
Respect brother ,we all love this content
It's a magnificent masterpiece, as always
I'm glad that I find you farya. You are amazing 👏
It's so epic beyond words,I love your work,it's perfect and powerful in every way,keep it up!
I love every single masterpiece you made so far!
I feel like I'm making huge jumps between both time and space while listening to Farya's music... it takes an effort to realise how I really feel deep within. But its definitely beautiful feelings all around, and lots of positive vibes in the air💚🙏🏻
Thank you always
I love your work. I wish I could listen to your whole discography on Spotify. Keep it up man
every time you release a song I'm always impressed! thank you💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Best thanksgiving gift a man can ask for.
Perfeito. Latim é uma das línguas mais bonitas que existiu. Continue fazendo mais música sobre Roma.
Sem dúvida o latim é a mais belo idioma de todos.
Verdade, quando eu procuro música em Latim, só tem versões medievais de sons católicos. Ou então versões mais modernas com cantantes, americanos ou ingleses. Que tbm não soa igual ao orinal. Agora de este grupo ou pessoas da Turquia está muito bom, tanto a apresentação ( som musical), quanto as canções antigas romanas, como cantos de guerras e invocações de Deuses antigos. Achei muito bom. Mesmo que na descrição ele diga, que seja dito que não é uma versão 100% igual ao orinal. Pelo menos é algo bem próximo.
Sic itur ad astra indeed
One of my favs
Amazing stuff as always, thanks so much for making such great works :)
Another great work by Farya!
I am Azerbaijani, but I love the history of Italy and Rome🇦🇿+🇮🇹=❤️
Thank you for uploading this on my birthday!!! My birthday wish came true! Roma Invicta!
Happy birthday and to many more!
Thanks Mia!
Goosebumps, damn this is good
Ur channel is full of intrest, knowledge and talent
I love it!
Wow totally wonderful music and lyrics is another level ❤😍
¡Gran trabajo Farya!
The length of enlistment in the Roman military was a lot longer than that in the modern militaries. The length of Roman service was closer to the length of military service that would qualify for retirement in the US and other western militaries. The modern counterpart to the Evocati would be those who were called back into active duty from the retired reserve.
This would be many of us if World War III started, a major conflict occurred that required expanding the size of the military, the US gets invaded, etc. So, when someone wonders if 38-40 is too young to retire someone from the military, with pension and benefits, remember, that person is still in the military and is liable to become the modern version of the Evocatus. At this point, "military service" is "indefinite."
In the eartly realm might decide strength
Absolutely fantastic. Love this a lot!
Once again, amazing music was created,it's fantastic 👏
"Beware of a old man in a profession where men usually die young"'
or as I like to say
"youth and exuberance is no match for old age and treachery"
The Evocati in a nutshell ladies and gentlemen. IMHO, anyone who receives the Honesta missio and reenlists to fight for his Imperator commands the highest forms of honor and respect.
Just wow! 😍 This is so epic!
Thank you for your amazing work.
This is truly, the song of Centurions. Specifically Evocati.
Greetings!
Another day of thanking Jupiter for Farya Faraji. Thank you :D
Amazing, pretty please more Epic Roman Music, please.

We NEED a Behind the Scenes for these videos!
Had the exact same thought. Would love to see that!
Beautiful music
Beautiful!
Please make more of these 💖
Tu música es pura arte ❤❤
¡Gracias amigo!
Encore du travail remarquable ! J'aime beaucoup le rythme et les similarités entre tes compositions sur Rome, n'ayant pas de connaissances réelles en instruments, je ne pourrais pas dire lesquels forment cette récurence (une sorte de corne de brume ?). En tout cas bravo. D'ailleurs ta symphonie sur Carrhae est magnifique. Sic itura ad astra !
Yes un Français 😅
Il faut que cette génération voit que l’époque était vraiment bonne culture et maintenant j’ai l’impression que je vit avec des robots je suis d’origine Kurde et quand je vois des musiques comme ça de l’époque me donne de la farce masculine ❤️💪
Makes me think of Vorenus from HBO's Rome. I love your work!

Bonjour de France
Bonjour du Québec!
Dear Farya,
first of all, I would like to thank you for your incredible work, the music you make is just outstanding, especially for people like me who are interested in ancient history, namely ancient Rome.
Well, I know it might sound a like a dumb idea but I was wondering if you could make the "Adeste fideles" Christmas song, but make it somewhat more Roman or Roman sounding (or just epic in general). I got this wish because no version of this song sounds right for me, especially now that I started learning Latin and I prefer the classical pronunciation.
Thanks again for the great work, I really appreciate it!
JJP
i put it in my Favourites before i heard it and i was not Dissapointed! Playing Ck3 and just Rebuild the Roman Empire, Timing is on Point bro, you never Disappoint. Thumps up
Very good, it really brings the romans back to live for me. I hope it's okay for you, that I use the first 6 six seconds for my intro? Will give you Credit of course🙂👍🙏
OMG! This one is better than the others(For me). I have a request for Epic Byzantine Music. Belisarius, music about the great General Belisarius with the lyrics of course in Greek.
