Roman period art

Roman period art, spanning from approximately 70 BCE to 476 CE, reflects the empire’s grandeur, innovation, and blending of cultures. It incorporated realistic portraiture, detailed frescoes, and elaborate sculptures, often emphasizing individualism and civic pride. Romans excelled in architecture, creating durable structures like aqueducts, basilicas, and the iconic Colosseum. They also advanced techniques in mosaics and wall paintings, showcasing everyday life, mythology, and history. Influenced by Greek traditions but adapting them to their own tastes, Roman art aimed to celebrate power, legacy, and the diverse diversity of the empire.
