Music was a popular form of entertainment in ancient Rome. [33] It was important to ancient Roman games. [34] [35] Gladiatorial fights began with a blast of horns and were accompanied by music. [36] [37] Musicians, usually players of the tuba or large aerophones would play during triumphs. [38] The tibia was used to draw in the viewer's attention during the ceremony and a trumpet was used to announce the presence of the triumphator. [14] Music was also used to silence the crowd. [39] Music, primarily pipe music, [40] held an important place in ancient Roman theatre. [41] [42] [43] [44] During plays, the actors, pantomimes, and tragedians would be accompanied by a chorus of singers and an orchestra of wind or percussion instruments. [31] They would dance to the tune of the instruments. [31] Musicians could be driven off of the stage for even small musical errors. [45] The tune of the instruments would signify the emotions and traits of the characters and the pace of the story.

[3] Ancient Roman music and singing originated from Etruscan music, [5] [6] [7] and then Ancient Greek music. [8] During its early history, it was mostly used for military purposes. [9] According to Cicero, Roman musical tradition was adapted during the reign of Numa Pompilius. [10] [11] Music was initially discovered by Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras [ dubious – discuss]. Pythagoras was able to find the first 7 pitches in a scale and this knowledge carried over into the Roman Empire. [12] Music in society [ edit ] Depiction of a Roman animal sacrifice
