"Unus homo mille mille mille decollavimus"<br>
(For the loss of one man we cut a thousand thousand thousand heads)<br>
And:<br>
"Mille Sarmatas mille francos semel et semel occidimus, mille Persas quaerimus".<br>
(A thousand Sarmatians and a thousand Franks we killed again and again, and now we're looking for a thousand Persians)<br>
The second one was sung by Aurelian's soldiers, when he was still a tribune and was on his way to Persia after a stay on the german limes.<br>
The two are often linked but apparently it's not the same song. <p></p><i></i>
