Why this music
Because the book moves between brutal spectacle and suffocating political tension, the music stays martial and taut — Roman brass and percussion for the arena, strings coiling inward for the schemes. It darkens as the empire's grip tightens, with rare moments of open, aching quiet when the protagonist is briefly alone with the cost of survival.
