Sons of Mars - Epic Roman Music

Composition and vocals by Farya Faraji. This song is just me having a bit of fun writing a Roman military march; I was inspired by the content of the channel Metatron, one of my favourite YouTubers who, as far as I’m concerned, makes the best Roman-related informative content on the internet; if you like Roman history and you don’t know Metatron, you’re seriously missing out. No deep historical value to this one--we know little about Roman music and even less about their military music. I limited the instrumentation to trumpets, drums and a kithara, which the Romans had, although I added cymbals which aren’t historically accurate, and we don’t know much about how they built melodies and played instruments, so this is mostly a modern piece with a Roman theme, nothing more. I used the Classical Latin pronunciation for the lyrics. Lyrics: Per aspera ad astra, Per ardua ad astra, Exurge Mars, Mars Ultor, Roma et Imperator, Viribus unitis, Semper fidelis! Sumus filii* Lupae capitolinae! English translation
