Songs about ancient Rome

Metal is Forever Number of posts : 6337 Age : 44

I've been on a Rome kick lately. I listened to the entire History of Rome podcast. I went to see an exhibition at a museum. I watched Spartacus and Rome on HBO. I even watched Plebs (damn funny it was).

But how about some kickass tunes about Ancient Rome?

I'll start with Civil War, the power metal band with Nils Patrik Johansson on vocals:

There's an Italian band called Ex Deo who are all about the Roman stuff. Apparently they dress like Roman Centurians on stage too:

Ex Deo are actually the death metal band Kataklysm. This is another project they do.

I prefer Claymorean's cover of that Virgin Steele track:

This thread has actually been far better than I expected. I knew a lot of these songs, just didn't place them where I should have, historically. And the rest of the songs are fun too.

I think I have a playlist now. Thank you all. And please, keep them coming.

I always like this series by PBS.
It’s 5 DVDs long.Good when it’s colder.
Brian Blessed is amazing.

This whole paragraph is awesome.

Remember… when in Rome, do as the Roman’s do. Razz
