Hehe, it does put some people off, but this music is al a reconstruction of the various songs played at the gladiatorial games. Mourning for the dead was included, and yes, the women did wail, even for the condemned convicts. Symbolically of course, though. No one actually cared for the their lives, not unless the were famous by the time they died.
@1lubu1 Are you mad?!!!! First of all as a gladiator, you are a slave. You have to do whatever your Dominus tells you. If Senator Fudgepaccus finds you handsome and wants to drive his manhood into your steamy depths...you're taking phallus! If Dominus decrees that you are to fight lions barefisted, you're knuckling up. If some rich brat purchases you because he wants to know what it's like to kill a great warrior, you're clocking out. Still want to be a Gladiator?!!!
@ex0pos Heh, I have a majored in Roman history (Univ. of Loyola New Orleans) - do not think I am that easily confused ;) Indeed, I beleive De Organographia, the Greek music recreationist group did the same song. This is because the Romans essentially lacked their own music. The ancient Latin peoples likely had their own musical styles, but heavily influenced by Etruscans. But this is all speculation. We do not know what the Early Romans played.
One day, when I am not exhausted from dealing with people taught by Marxist Jew professors, I will unfortunately share with you why you wasted your money in _shool._ And the Greek Supremacist there, "expo0ser" who doesn't understand anything but being semantic; who is of the J haplogroups and other flotsam, doesn't grasp a hair of how ITALICA functioned; and I am truly sorry, but neither do you. These absolutisms are *subterfuge,* and you know it. My family goes back to the MESSINA, before the "Sicils" ever touched that land. The MESSINA allowed them to inhabit the coast, scantly. Later on some MESSINA moved onto CALABRIA and surrounding areas. I am ROMAN/CALABRESE, and have some BARESE on my mother's side. There is a hint of Greek from around ~1000 AD; my ancestor what a Greco-Roman apothecary/druggist/hermeticist/alchemist; essentially what Doctors were previously. Between my mother and father, their interwoven lines trace very far back; farther than most, luckily for records, location of relatives, their olive orchards, inscriptions on properties, ancient deeds, genetics, word of mouth and honor passed down, nomen/cognomen, and the endless 30+ years of triangblvm. This was in a fact à ROMANESQVE sound. It is more Medeival sounding, as most recreational products are influenced by the North landers attempting to grasp the ITALIC Blood, which is impossible. The ethnic Italian male is donned the most virile and driven male in *the world.* The ethnic Italian is of the R1b haplo and contains 90% Ancient ROMAN DNA on average. I have _traveled_ back to the agrarians [X TO XX thousand BC] on North America, for which the male skulls looked like my grandfather; the same orbital facets, occipital facet of the skull, and just overall impression. They were declared as "Evropid Caucasoid". And then the F B I retrieved [stole] them from the researchers, and handed the skeletons over to the "Natives" because "burial rites". But as one of the researchers/scientists had enough time to make observations, he shared what I just said, and more. But I would like to leave that for a day when it matters. I'm sure that researcher isn't living anymore. Anyways, those Caucasoid agrarians; enough to have little 'villages' and tools etc; crossed the land bridges, I believe on both sides of NA. Others have too. But earlier were non-human, and later was the Asiatic migration IN. The NVRAGHII peoples, more than a pre-cursor to Celts/Italics/Romans/LATINS/LATIAR/MESSINA [Messiah/Messenger/Guardian/Rightful/Alligator/Beacon/'Durability/Persistence'] they were metallurgists/stone masons. The styles and marking are so homogenous over several thousand years, that they can identify that the same _peoples_ traveled what I call, the "T-zone" of Evrope. They essentially always practiced animal husbandry, agraria, worship [which they made lintel altars], and in the latter millenniae traveled the Mediterranean, on land mostly I am sure, crafting tools/weapons and settling in Malta, Sardinia, the water-buried cities all around the coast of ITALICA; North Africa, which actually has the exact same geological make-up as Italy itself. Before "Greece" or "Macedonia" was an SATVRNIAN/PERSIAN speck in the world, the Tribes of ITALII were the main circus act around Evrope. There were *very few* clumps of anybody, except early "Slavs/Caucasus", and "Mesopotamian/Easten/Asiatic Caucasoids". Only Keltoi, Latins, Alpinids had actual cultural hearths. This is *extremely* brief compared to the months it would take to share everything. This way excludes peoples. This way leaves out vital information. It is just too much and too important. I will finish with this, because this is what I need the dying breed of "academic" chalk weilders to fully understand: There was a whole land of people, which already took up most of the World, that matters. The MARE•NOSTRVM was always important, even to the Phoenicians, WHO, along with Italics actualized what is considered "Hellenistic". There is no backstory for Greeks.

@ex0pos The people simply want to experience something the Romans did. Musica Romana in their booklets do mention this fact, so it is not as if they are misrepresenting their product xP. Not to mention, the album Pugnate ('Fight!') features music that was likely played during the gladiatorial fights. I am as inclined towards historical pedantism as you may be, but honestly, most people do not care for the details of the origins - Seikilos and Hymn to Nemesis are but two songs after all.
@ex0pos I explained a bit of this in my video descriptions of De Organographia music (see my other videos), mainly the fact that the Romans listened to Greek music. Perhaps I should add a similar note here. Indeed, I have been lazy here. I did not even put video descriptions for the Sumerian music (which is even more authentic than this, given the records we have of the Hurrian Hymns - yes, I know they are from a later period of a different culture - but the music remained the same)
@ex0pos And I also did not put the song titles for the other videos, such as Synaulia. My apologies :( On another note, it is very pleasing to see a fellow of student viewing these videos :D - what are you doing now, if I may ask? I was thinking of going for a doctorate and possibly professorship, but when given the thin prospects of a job, I decided to go to law school and become an attorney(immigration), as my father did. The alt. was probably teaching high-school with a PhD in history x(
@ex0pos What we know of Roman music is largely what the upper classes enjoyed during the Later Republic and onwards to probably the Principate. I doubt we even have any pieces of music from the Dominate period.
@ex0pos Well, it depends on how you look at it. The common peoples may have listened to 'folk' music, but the equites and the patricians, the culture of Rome listened to Greek and only Greek music, as far as we can determine. This *is* Roman music in the sense that it is what the ancient Romans listened to. The point of Musica Romana is to illustrate what the Romans listened. And they have a legion of mostly German professors, historians & museum curators on their side.
@ex0pos The upper classes were thoroughly Hellenised, no matter how much traditionalists the likes of Cato the Elder resisted it. Whatever Roman music survived into the posterity is essentially Greek music, with almost no modifications. Even in sculpture, the Romans did better - think of the late Dominate simplicity of expression (for instance, the busts of Constantius Chlorus and the giant statue in Rome of his son Constantine I) in comparison to the lavish realism of the later Greeks.
The Song of Seikilos is Greek through and through. It was laid down with Greek lyrics, in Greek notation, on a Greek tombstone, in Greek lands. I do understand that we have essentially nothing of Roman music apart from what they might have imported from Greece. But the fact that Romans might have enjoyed Greek music hardly makes it "Roman." - ex0pos, BA, Classical Studies (w/emphases on Ancient Greek language, literature, and music), Brandeis University.
@generalpatton3 Belated reply here... I thank you for your comments. I think we're mostly on the same page here. What am I doing now, you ask? We're on the same page there as well -- like you, I went on to do the law school thing. Just about the only practical use for an impractical degree (estate planning & tax). I used to do employment law (as my mother did), but that field is far too cantankerous. I've considered doing immigration as well... but I don't know square one about it.
Well, in a large part, you would have. Money, women, fame... And Iunius was correct in the fact that professional gladiators did not die as often as in a flick. Still, it was a dangerous life, unless you were quite renowned. One was rarely immune to a bloody fight in the Flavian Amphitheatre/Colosseum. There, cost was seldom an issue, hence the butchery. Not to mention there was always the horrifying prospect of a stomach wound. Then again there was the merciful mallet in the head...
Of course very few gladiatorial fights went to the death anyway, gladiators were expensive, but people forget that and think of bloody scenes from movies. Yes, criminals were executed and animals butchered but not gladiators.
3:20 Wait what? Are you telling me that the music played in the taverns and stuff in Hercules and Xena is actually historically accurate?!
Hehe, it does put some people off, but this music is al a reconstruction of the various songs played at the gladiatorial games. Mourning for the dead was included, and yes, the women did wail, even for the condemned convicts.

Seikilos is greek, not roman
Poster is woefully confused. Song of Seikilos is Greek. Culturally appropriate much?
How drunk were you when you scribbled that?
Uhm, rome had doctors that were more effective than our own on many levels
I'm not digging it.
