Best Answer

You are correct; the Roman military Trumpet was about four foot in length, and was used as a military signal Trumpet. It was usually made from copper or iron and was a conical bore straight tube that came in three pieces with a mouthpiece. Although the Roman tuba (trumpet) was used at sacrifices, processions, triumphal processions and funerals, it was primarily used to announce troop movements during battle. Classifications range from 'wind' to 'brass' to 'aerophone' and it was intended to be played as loudly as possible.
