Roman - All

The Roman Period dates from around 200 B.C. to 500 A.D., and is divided into the Republican era and the Imperial era which began in 27 B.C. when Octavian (the great-nephew of Julius Caesar) received the title "Augustus." Roman artifacts appearing on the market today have a wide variety of geographic provenances, from Western Russia to Northern Africa to Great Britain and Scotland to Northern Europe.

Major forms of ancient Roman art include architecture, painting, sculpture and mosaic work. Metalwork, coin-die and gem engraving, ivory carvings, figurine glass, pottery, and book illustrations were considered minor forms of Roman artwork While the traditional view of Roman artists is that they often borrowed from, copied, or even outright stole Greek precedents (much of the Greek sculpture we know of today is in the form of Roman marble copies), more recent analysis indicates Roman art was a mix of Greek, Etruscan, native Italic, and even Egyptian visual culture.
