422 BCE; the Temple of Athena and Nike was anointed last night. It is a warm summer evening; after pouring your libations you decide to retire at the temple. A mellow music calms your spirit, as the goddess resides in the temple's sacred halls late at night.

A Roman walks into a bar and orders a martinus,the bartender says "Don’t you mean a Martini?"the Roman then says "Look,if I want a double I’ll ask for one.
I despise how much I love that
@@Deadman7600. LOL! 😆
Only Canadians have heard this joke …
Elle est vraiment géniale ! 😄
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do not forsake Wisdom, and She will protect you; love Her, and She will watch over you...
I don't mean to equate this beautiful video and music to modern video games, but this is the reason why I love Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, it's the only game that lets me walk the streets of Ancient Greece replicated as close in a simulation such as this as possible. I've been so mesmerized just watching the people walk the markets and the temples, talking Greek and Latin, praying to their Gods, haggling for the right price and to have unkempt Socrates suddenly bother me about riddles I know nothing about...
I completely agree with you, hence the reason I added this unique soundtrack to the ambience music. Assassin's Creed essentially takes you back in time, it's like a time traveling device. I hope this music displays some part of that magic.
I agree Assassin's Creed: Odyssey it actually feels like your in the cities of Greece. The music in that game is amazing and the little details are fun.
Just dont take the Linguistics too seriously - I did only to find out alot of the Linguistics of the Languages are wrong like pointed out by Polymathy's channel. grammar and words are sometimes a jumble and nonsense etc
have you done the actual recreation tour they have on ac odyssey? it is sooo awesome.
The sounds and melodies create their own Animus effect. Maybe Ive done too many psychadelics, but I can see the landscape and imagine seeing through the eyes of my ancestors in that period. Sounds of rainfall are what do it for me; I can feel the water on my face and the fresh air in my lungs as I trudge on for dutys sake.
CrICKETS and OWLS!!! YESSS! Sounds like my nights in Greece as a kid!!!
The summer night sounds of greece ❤
AVE MINERVA.. goddess of wisdom! grant me wisdom and prudence, guide me as I learn and prepare for my upcoming tests, keep me strong and focused, grant me the ambition to be successful!! I owe u gratitude for your guidance, and will do you honor with my achievements! Thx for these roman ambience videos, u the goat!
Ave Minerva! Such a beautiful incantation. Thx so much, will continue :)
I’ve have actually been there and done this! I was in Athens in 2010 and did this kind of thing every night. I’d sit there overlooking the ancient agora, watching the sun go down, contemplating those beautiful and powerful Goddesses with my earphones in listening to chill music. It was every bit as magical as this with the exception that I don’t get a ton of mosquito bites watching it from here 🤣
There's nothing better than watching the Agora at sunset. I was in Athens in 2019 and still remember that same feeling you described. Simply beautiful. (except for the mosquitos)
I was there just last week, it truly is magical. I miss it already
You need some tee tree oil because that acts as a bug repellant which is very good for getting rid of mosquitoes.
we mustve been there at the same time doing the same thing. we may have shared a mosquito or 10 (lol and eww)
I commented on this video a year ago.. and now I realise.. that whole year I've been falling asleep to this almost every night.. again thank you for this !! 🏛🤍✨️ Love from Cyprus :)
Hey, I recognize you! So glad to see you're still around and enjoying my ambience. ❤Hope it provides many more hours of restful sleep. Sending love to Cyprus!
I can't explain how much bliss ans happiness I get sitting in the bath or on my porch listening to this
I'm so glad to hear that!! Enjoy!
I watch/listen to a LOT of Ambiance videos, and this is my absolute favourite. You understand subtlety. The balance of music and sounds is absolutely blissful.
Thank you so much, that's such a kind compliment! I try not to go overboard with making the music soundtracks too loud. I'm delighted you enjoy the way I make these :')
As a Hellenic Polytheist living in Canada, I thank you for this! My religion is very small nowadays, and I cannot wait till I’m older and can visit what’s left of these temples and really connect with the Gods. For now, listening to this while I study will have to do though!
I visited Athens in 2019 and there is a small but growing community of Hellenic Polytheists that worship at the Temple of Artemis and Dionysus. They even practice a ritual to Poseidon each year on the coast. It's absolutely beautiful. Thank you for listening to my music, I hope it can convey some of that magic.
I am also a hellenic polytheist! I love to find people of my community in small places like this.
I hopr the ancient belief of greece will grow more. I believe the gods/godessess they are the real and true. The universe witness it then the man creating religion and put all what ancient belief have to their bible or quran.
Hello from a hellenist in the US! :)
Greece has been Christian for 2000 years now. longer than it was polytheist. it was Greeces destiny to become Christian
Take me back to ancient Greece, sitting there relaxing.
then suddenly rome attacks and took u as a slave
I'm listening this while reading my Ancient History course for my exams in 10 days. It's very immersive, thanks !
That's amazing, I'm so glad to hear that. Best wishes and good luck with your exams!
I'm reading an article about ekphrasis in the greek literature and it's very pleasant with this video as a background😊
Listening while reading The song of Achilles ❤
beautiful 😍
Have you cried yet?
4 months later still weeping😭
Me too
I miss that night. It is sweet.
the HBO Rome track is brlliant
I really appreciate this piece. I played it while praying and it helped put my mind at ease.
I am really glad to hear that :)
Praying? That's rare to hear=read on internet from a person. Love it👍. Is kind of calming, positive vibe this one eh? Is very nice.
Same as me. It played it in background during night time praying and I feel like I'm in a calm ancient environment.
May the old gods rise again 🙏😊
So mote it be
@@roselightmoon Times are changing, Powers are shifting, man made religions will fall with the rise of old gods.
They still reign, just in sadly splintered kingdoms. here hopes atenas wisdom can guide the world again soon
I'm not a polytheist, but I enjoy history and it's recreations, thanks for recreating this part of history
I am reading the book Creators, Conquerors and Citizen while listening to this music. Perfect combination, such inspiration...
Gonna listen to this while reading the Percy Jackson books!
I have Odysseus one too if you're interested! Love Percy Jackson haha :D
I love Roman history. I'm starting a book on the Roman Empire, and listening to this while I read the opening chapter made me get really immersed in it! I read 30 pages in what felt like 5 minutes. Thank you!
Love to hear that, thank you! Happy reading!
This is nice. We need more Egypt
It will happen
Still listening... ❤️
Not only am I obsessed with the mythology but just the time period of ancient Greece is so interesting and the music is beautiful which is one of the reasons I love ac Odyssey not only that but the way wars were fought back then idk I just wish I could go back to this time
I love this masterpiece. I was in Greece a few times and always when listen to this incredible sounds i feel like Greek God in the Temple.
I think you and I both share a love for Greece, first time I visited I was blown away. So glad I could capture what I felt there and that you were able to feel the same listening to the ambience. 💙🇬🇷
Great video to listen to while reading philosophy, especially Plato!
This ambience sound deserves to be a part of a video game ost soundtrack set in Ancient Rome. Mid or late Roman Republic setting. The rise of the Caesar’s. The five good emperors
This is very relaxing for my cat and I right now, she's laying next to me while I doing my work. Great vid! Keep up the good work :)
awww that's so cute! Say hi to your cat for me. Thank you for the kind comment
@@roselightmoon Haha no problem! I will :)
I'm reading cupid and psyche and this ambience is perfect edit: I'm back and reading the theban plays
This channel is really great. I don't have anything to say in particular, other than that I got really excited when I saw you uploaded today. Just keep doing what you do because it really works
thank you :)
@@roselightmoon Yes your work is absolutely wonderful. This allows people to do their work or relax and read books without distractions or the anxiety that comes with complete silence for some people.
OMG! Paradise lost, home found!
she is my favorite goddess
very excited to have this in the background to set the mood for studying classics haha
that's amazing
I listen to this everyday, thanks for your work!
makes me really happy to hear that 💙 you're welcome!
Ive been looking for this for so long, this is beautiful!
Absolutely delighted to of found your content. this is exactly what I've been looking for. For the love of history & fantasy!!
So glad you're here! Welcome to the legion, citizen!
Ave, Minerva! Great job as always, this one might be my favorite so far. Can't wait to see what you'll do next :)
Stunning! Always the best videos; so calm, so inspiring! Thank you!
Est-il possible de créer un montage en rajoutant la statue Alexandre Le Grand ?? Ce que vous créez c'est tellement magnifique franchement bravo.
I find so much peace and clarity while listening to this. Thanks for uploading!
You're so welcome, I'm really glad you enjoy these! ☺️
absolutely love it
Amazing, I can't stop playing it
It is a shame this channel does not have Millions of subscribers You deserve it. Thank You
awww thank you, Chris! It'd be a dream to get there one day. For now, I love our little community here ^^
Greetings from a Syrian city found by the Ancient Greeks: Laodicea Ad Mare! Now called Latakia
Salve! I just looked up your beautiful city and I'm amazed by the ancient monuments that are still there. Thank you for listening and being part of the channel
Nice. Very beautiful and calming.
Just perfect, thank you !
I very rarely comment on videos, but I feel like it's always motivating to me when people comment on mine. So since you're someone I'd like to be motivated to keep making these, here you go! Great videos. I listen to them when I study. The Roman/Greek ones are amazing! Keep making them. 👌
Thank you so much I really appreciate your comment. It's people like you that make it possible to continue running this channel.
@@roselightmoon no worries. Here's another comment so that the algorithm promotes it more. Do you have any more Roman politics themed stuff coming? The one on Augustus' balcony was great.
@@TheHigherBrow one of my go-to ambience videos, the Augustus one. Such a neat concept. I think the same could be done for more historical kings and emperors and it could become a whole ambience subgenre
Nicely done
This is straight up one of my favorite videos/ experiences right now. Listening to it in tandem with reading 'Heroes' by Stephen Fry.
I love it. This helped me sleep right away.
I listen to this at a very low volume while reading the Iliad.
This is one of your best ones, right up there with Legions of Rome music. also i like how the night grows darker in the video as it is coming closer to ending, great touch. keep up the fantastic work, i enjoy your videos a lot.
Instantly recognized you by your profile picture haha. Thank you so much, as always, for being a great subscriber. Hope to make a new video by the end of the month. ^^
@@roselightmoon glad to be recognized, i am always listening to your fantastic work. keep them coming, you make reading such a joyous activity for me :)
Roman boiz were a real chillwave guru. Thank for n-ice content
Such an amazing ambient set. Listening to this as I enjoy a birthday cigar. 😎👍
Happy Birthday! 🎂 Hope you have a relaxing time, thanks for listening! 😊
@@roselightmoon Thank you, it was very relaxing!
i love to listen to it while doing my homework or just chilling out! great work!
Thank you so much Helena, a very fitting name btw :)
Nice!
I need to stop watching this, i just deleted this game because I needed to free up some space and i was done with it anyways. Now I feel an incredible urge to reinstall and experience it again
Ahh I wish this went on for hours 💙
thank you so much for this! I've been looking for something like this forever, and it finally came up in my recommended. Tis the only thing I listen to while studying now! Subscribed!
Margaret, I truly appreciate your comments and your input. I'm grateful for every single person subscribing and joining us on our journey. Good luck with your studies, I hope to upload many more hours of ambience for you ^^
reading plato’s republic to this >>
Beautiful Magickal location, reminds me of home ~💎🏛💎🏛💎🏛💎 ~ magus
So much of my thesis has gotten written thanks to this video, thanks for keeping my overwhelm at bay!
Oh that's amazing to hear, I'm so glad it could help you stay in the writing flow 💙
@@roselightmoon It absolutely has! In my opinion this particular ambience has an exceptionally good balance of different sounds from waves to crickets to fire crackling, and the prominent but not too overpowering melodic musical component keeps it interesting and engaging. Together it all just sounds somehow very layered which makes the soundscape sound so much more natural and realistic! Looking forward to hearing more in the future too 😊
@@sakuramankaii that's really valuable feedback Nin, thank you so much for the detailed response. I'm glad you distinguished the different layers btw I think I added 6 different files in the audio editor to create that layered depth. Glad you like it :)
@@roselightmoon glad to be able to give back as well ✨️
Lovely. I think you would do a fantabulous job crafting a rainy night in ancient stone city video
THIS! YES PLEASE!
So relaxing for a stressful day...you calmed my racing thoughts. And taking the time to curate a playlist rather than repeating the same song over and over again was a bonus. Each song was a joy to hear paired with the nature sounds. I cannot thank you enough. Thank you for this magical experience.
thank you so much
Just insane, we realy apprecied it with my girl Friends 🙏 this song make me travel. Thank u so much from France
Bienvenue mon ami. Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire! Je suis tellement contente que ça t'ai plu
@@roselightmoon ton français est super, merci encore pour ton son il réchauffe le coeur et est très agréable. 🙏 Bon courage pour la suite j'écouterais tes sons avec plaisir. Mes amitiés.
@@mayshine4643 merci pour vos paroles très aimables. Je vous envoie mon amour. S'il vous plaît profiter de la musique. Merci bien.
@@roselightmoon ❤️
Maintenant nous sommes fiancés et nous avons dépassé les 1 an de relation, j'écoute toujours votre musique de temps en temps d'ailleur ! Toujours aussi géniale
I listen to this, apollos temple, necropolis of alexandria and Cupids chamber when my husband and I massage each other and have fun. I also love Octavias garden and lo saturnailia for when I shower. Please keep making more, I'm addicted! Sound can indeed be luxurious and this really adds luxury to my life❤️❤️
why is this so relaxing?
My fantasy summer home! Xo ty
8:00 "Octavia seduces Octavian" by Jeff Beal. Appeared on HBO's series: Rome 2005 What a wonderful piece, surreal yet meditative.
yes! I was completely enchanted by the melody when I heard it watching the show. Just knew I had to include it in one of these ambience tracks.
I love this channel.
thank you so much! :)
Love 🌌
Beautiful as always, though the melodies make me a little sad :(
Thank you friend. We all weep for the glory of Rome.
yes it's musical ambience like this which inspires me to restore the empire.
Which one? The Mycenean, the Macedonean, the Seleucean or Byzantinian?
@@mikloscsuvar6097 bruh
This is good ;)
My soundtrack as I read abound ancient thebes, sparta and Athens all playing nicely
First +1 P.s. A fine addition to my collection of DnD campaign.
Grecia es un lugar que ciertamente destaca entre numerosos sitios emblemáticos, no solo por su belleza, sino, por las enseñanzas que surgieron en sus suelos. Las mentes se iniciaron en el estudio de diversos fenómenos los cuales despertaron el interés de insignes pensadores. Las ciencias emergieron, el pensamiento crítico halló el nido idóneo para su nacimiento, el cuerpo se visualizó como la herramienta compleja y exuberante que es. No hemos nacido en la época de ese lúcido ágape, sin embargo, tenemos a nuestro alcance conocimientos impartidos por los que caminaron en medio de esas tierras, platicando en latín y griego. Aprender de estas figuras modelos en el estoicismo se trata de un privilegio: Zenón de Citio, Sócrates, Marco Aurelio, entre otros. Lugares de nuestra tierra como Grecia me llevan a sentir cómo la palabra misticismo cobra plena y satisfactoriamente su valía. Descansen, compatriotas.
Your channel is severely underrated!! 😤 I love this soundscape. ✨ Was wondering if you’d consider creating one with a ship at sea with like maybe?? Idk like a Lake Nemi floating palace one? Or like Odysseus’s ship docking in Circe’s island? Don’t personally know enough abt the history or myth to offer a solid idea but... man keep up the good work! I’m always impressed w these. 😭💙 Thanks for sharing this w the world.
Hey Baz! I've noticed you commenting on my other videos. You're one of those subscribers that really make this channel special. Thank you so much for everything :) Your video idea is amazing! I'd love to do something ocean themed. Odysseus sounds exciting, a good addition to my Hellenic inspired music. When I do make it, I'll tag you in the description. Would you allow me to add your channel link as an info tag in the video?
@@roselightmoon Omg thank you 🥺 Your videos seriously got me through my last semester in undergrad, helped me focus all those late nights studying! I would be so genuinely be honored!! You have my full consent to add that to the info tag/description. Your work on these soundscapes really inspires me, especially since sound design is not a skill I have! Thank you so much for sharing these with the world & I definitely look forward to see what you do with the idea!! 🌊✨
@@bazpugmire635 That's amazing to hear! Thank you, comments like these keep inspiring me to continue creating more soundscapes. Here's to your graduation :)
Im reading a book on classic architecture for a class and listening to this while doing so🤓 nice video, thank u
Oh god just went into your channel and saw that you have lots of other videos with classic ancient roman ambiences im soo gonna listen to those later🤓🤓
@@iguess7997 thank you so much, and welcome to the channel :D I have a playlist for all my Roman themed ambiences on the channel if you need it :))
if you could make one related to circe’s island that’d be amazing!! love ur vids
Aeaea! That's a wonderful suggestion, thank you! I've added it to my viewer recommendations :)
Little update: kzhead.info/sun/iaiqd8aqeZ13ZHA/bejne.html you said it, and it was done :)
Well, that's nice to listen to while reading "The Song of Achilles"
Sometimes i think, am i the last sumerian god? Why all of these statues in easter island presented with such glamour and awe??
Such a beautiful video, but you will see this temple desecrated in this lifetime for the way that medusa was depicted by the romans 😘
Awesome! What are the name of the insects and birds in the backround ? I live near by ancient ephesus turkey and hear those noises every night.
Ephesus is gorgeous I'm glad the sounds resonate! I looked back on my audio files and the insects are Cicadas. The bird is an owl :)
Hey, music from HBO's Rome around the 9 minute mark!
GLORIA A LOS DIOSES!! LA VERDAD VOLVERA A REINAR HERMANOS!!
Me again trying to sleep while that neighbour barking on the street and thinking he knows how long the third line of triangle is
This "moving" picture is quietly disturbing, since the birds are just glued to the sky, like some matrix error... Beside this, the music is very cool!
someone else commented this too and I noticed it after editing xD now I can't unsee it.
Amazing video! And.. I’m searching for a track from 5:12, haven’t found it on KZhead’s Lisa Lynn themes. It really inspires me, please help me to find it🙏
I think that theme must have have been from one of the Assassin's Creed Odyssey OST's. Try this one, kzhead.info/sun/e6WkpLyiqp5vpmg/bejne.html&ab_channel=GameMusicHallberg
THANK YOU!💕🫶❤️
Why europeans don't build this sort of things anymore, they are fricking awesome, just imagine being on a temple in the mediterranean with this music in the background eating a very good bread with some olives and wine, i am not asking for much i just want to be happy jajaja
You'd love the city of Nîmes, in the South of France ! There're so much ancient buildings, it's very Beautiful !
Because solid marble temples are expensive and the methods were lost to time. That said, efforts are being undertaken to begin reconstruction of the Parthenon within the next 25 to 50 years. It’s supposedly going to incorporate both modern and ancient building techniques, and is going to be a FULL RECONSTRUCTION of the entire building. Probably the entire plaza itself. I hope it doesn’t get treated as just another tourist trap though. The Parthenon is the symbol of values of freedom that now exist the entire globe over so. Hopefully the Greeks treat the restored Parthenon with the glory and respect it deserves.
422, the year the war with Sparta returned and the beginning of the end for this great city...
It’s like I never left lol
The difference Assassin's Creed Odyssey made in our lives...
Wow. The Greeks were talented. They even invented the water sprinkler.
That is me playing the harp.
oh wow that's amazing! It's so dreamy! I found the audio on ambient-mixer a while back. I've updated the description to link to your channel
I like the music but are those sprinklers I hear in the background?
Beautiful, but I wish the crickets were quieter 😅
The lot torch yet frozen birds in the sky is triggering to me
Now that you mention it, I can't unsee it.
The crickets are a bit too loud but otherwise its very nice ambience.
