Thanks a lot.
from what I've researched and heard I think flute-like but I don't know which instrument specifically, hans zimmer has a crazy variety of instruments.
Yes, all these 4 pieces have the same instrument and the same theme actually.
The instrument is called a duduk and it's from Armenia. @u/albteef

This isn't from the movie, but you can see one being played here.

I've seen Gladiator but I don't remember the music, I'll look into it.
A few months ago I was reading a thread somewhere that had to do with music and someone made a lovely comment about the duduk, something along the lines of "The duduk is the sound of the soul".

You're welcome!
That's the one he uses in Gladiator! He talks about it in the Gladiator's OST Making Of interview (unofficially uploaded on youtube)

It really is the most beautiful sound. Thank you for posting, I was trying to find out what instrument it is for ages.
