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.
