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.

Aerophone
Trumpet, trombone, and tuba are all brass instruments. The other is a percussion instrument.
The tuba is the largest brass instrument with the largest mouthpiece. In marching the Sousaphone and the Contrabass bugle (known as contra) are marching versions of the tuba. The contra is the lowest-pitched, largest, and heaviest marching instrument.
The Tuba is actually a German instrument.
The tuba has the lowest tone/pitch. It is actually a pretty cool instrument, I play it in concert band!!
