War of Supremacy - Perugia Lyrics

“Perugia was one of the last cities
To yield to the pressure of Rome,
But in the end fell.”

Daughter of two fathers,
Umbrians and Etruscans,
Her heart went to the latter.
Joined the twelve because of its growth.
Defended by massive walls,
Soon the eagle eye will be placed on her.

For 30 years the wall
Would have still detained
Without shaking the sun
In the hill dedicated to him.

In 295 BC
Peace has been broken,
It had not yet reached maturity,
Too dangerous was the enemy!

Samnites, Etruscans, Umbrians and Gauls,
Joined together against Rome
In a historic battle
That shooks mountains and forests.

“The place was the Sentino’s valley,
From this place will be called the Battle Of The Nations.
The plan was simple, to distract by the front, to attack from behind.
But the eagle sees far and knows how to spy his prey,
An attack on Chiusi would force the Etruscans
To move and to weaken the alliance.”

So strong was the Roman army
Even with the dislocated troops.
No territory fell under the supremacy of Rome,
The eagle's goal was to make it clear
That she almost was the greatest one.
That she almost was the greatest one.
