The style of Ancient Roman music, especially with wind instruments, would be characterized by: Monophonic : Typically featuring a single melodic line without harmonization, as was common in ancient music. Modal : Based on ancient modes (scales), similar to Greek music, which influenced Roman practices. Rhythmic : Often driven by strong, repetitive rhythms, especially in military or ceremonial contexts. Imitative of Nature : Many wind instruments, like the tibia or aulos , could mimic natural sounds, adding a primal or ritualistic element. Formal and Ceremonial : Roman music was often used for public events like religious ceremonies, gladiatorial games, and military parades, contributing to a structured, purposeful style. The overall style was ritualistic , solemn , or martial , depending on the setting. It also shared some stylistic elements with Greek music, since the Romans adopted much of their cultural heritage from Greece.
