Epic songs of history's empires, sung in their own tongue. True history, the sources named, every legend called a legend.
One anthem a week, in the order history happened. Each song carries its name and its year, so you always know where in time you stand. Seals break in premiere week.
After REGULUS the march goes on: the Cannae arc, Caesar, the emperors, and the last stand of Constantinople in AD 1453.
An anthem can make you feel a moment two thousand years old. It should never lie to you about it.
Rome speaks in her own language: classical spelling, a choral sound, an English translation on screen for every line.
Every story is built on the ancient writers, Livy, Polybius, Plutarch and others, and the source is shown where the history is told.
Where the ancients disagree, or a tale is myth, we say so. Every anthem ends with what really happened.
You judge us. Rate every anthem from 1 to 10 in the comments, and help decide where the Legion marches next.
Iuro per maiorum memoriam:
historiam veram canam, fabulam fabulam appellabo;
nihil falsi in lucem edam;
linguas imperiorum ad vitam revocabo;
Legioni fidem servabo;
signa non deseram, donec opus perfecero.
I swear by the memory of our ancestors: I will sing true history, and call a legend a legend; I will bring nothing false into the light; I will call the languages of the empires back to life; I will keep faith with the Legion; I will not desert the standards until the work is done.
Each season is one empire, sung in the language its people spoke.
Classical Latin. From the she-wolf to the fall of Constantinople.
Ancient Greek. The cities, the wars, the heroes.
Persia, Byzantium, the Norse, Egypt? You will vote.
