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.
