Such a powerful score. Damn I miss this show.

4:50 Anyone else like Pompey’s little leitmotif? It always spoke of a warrior past his time to me, an echo of the greatness he had been and was no more.

At 06:30 you feel the power and accomplishments of Augustus and feel the rise of a new order in city of Rome.

The roman imperialism was a dictatorship, an absolutist government. Much like the fascist dictatorships, who were inspired by the roman empire.

such peacefull part at 02:28 , i love it.

5:25 That's what I am here for. The uneasy rise. The passion in the score. The auditory representation of his rise to power. This entire score is perfection

And then the democracy died
