Roman Sculptures
Arch of Constantine
Augustan
Ara Pacis
Sculptures are usually three dimensional figurines of a real item or idea. Many
Roman sculptures are copies of Greek art. At one time this was frowned upon by the Greek as being a lack of imagination on the part of the Romans. By the 20th century the
Greeks were surprised to have found that many of their art may have been taken from
the earliest Roman culture.
Roman Paintings
Romans painted directly onto the walls of their homes making painting one of the earliest forms of roman art. Many
Roman paintings have deteriorated due to time. Such paintings have turned
into myths or legends passed down by many generations of Romans.
