Music & vocals by Farya Faraji. The Epic Byzantine series is a musical project where the sounds of modern Greek folk and other traditions are used in thematic conjuction with historical subjects of the Eastern Roman Empire. This composition uses primarily modern Iranian musical sounds and instruments, as well as elements of modern Greek music.

Bleschames was a Persian soldier who defected to Belisarius' army during a siege, and went on to be one of his lieutenants; he is mentionned in sources by Procopius.

Lyrics in Middle-Persian:
Peroozi abar kišvar-e Rūm,
Pad nām-e Keisar-e-Rūm

Ke abrâstag drafs dâred ped êvên î Keisarān
Pêsh-lashkar barend ped spâh-sâlârân!

Pad nām-i Sālār Belisārios ud pad nām-i Keisar,
Pad nām-i Rūm-i-Wuzurg pad nām-i Ioustinianos.

English translation:
Victory be upon the land of Rome,
Upon the Caesar of Rome,

The banners are unfurled in the manner of the Caesars of old,
The commanders are at the helm,

In the name of commander Belisarius and of Caesar,
In the name of Great Rome and Justinian
