Roman Music

Salvete Omnes,
On Marius' Roman Outpost we had discussed some time ago Roman Music. Mostly we came up with modern music which puts pictures of Ancient Rome in our minds. In my case that is the soundtrack to the movie "Gladiator".
But I always wondered what real Ancient Roman music sounded like. There are many groups around who play Medieval music, but so far I didn't come across any group playing Roman music - until now. There are two groups I came across. One is called MVSICA ROMANA and the other OMNIA.
MVSICA ROMANA has a web page: www.musica-romana.de and both CDs (that of MVSICA ROMANA and of OMNIA) could be ordered via the record label www.emmuty.com
Does anyone else of you know groups playing Ancient Roman music?
