The Romans at those senate meetings, yo! I bet they were totally bumping some instrumental jazz. Those smooth saxophone tunes, right? Just setting the mood before laying down a veto. Lounging around in their togas, sipping on wine...🎷🍷

Do you reckon the Mongol hoards were into rap? 'Cause I mean, they had horses, they moved in large groups, and they knew how to throw down!

Nero would've liked punk. No, seriously, he played the lyre, fiddled while Rome burned - totally punk behavior! Sid Vicious could be his 20th-century reincarnation.

Considering the 'music of the spheres' concept from ancient Greek philosophy, we could conclude that they were all about some celestial, ambient music. Boards of Canada, anyone? Or maybe the Greeks were into Brian Eno's 'An Ending (Ascent)' as their soundtrack while discussing philosophy under the stars?

In my mind, the Spartans were definitely into something with a regular, disciplined beat. Perfect for marching and very much in line with their orderly society. Something like Kraftwerk or Jean Michel Jarre would suit them perfectly, albeit synthesized.

Well, actually, music was an integral part of most ancient cultures, so it isn't totally improbable to imagine... oh wait, no historians allowed. My bad, carry on.

A bit of Shakespearean verse might have been the remix of the day for those Elizabethan nobles. Iambic pentameter was the sick beat of the time!

LOL! I think the vikings would definitely be into some heavy metal tunes. Just imagine those guys rowing their longships to some Metallica or Iron Maiden. Epic! 🎸🤘
