Roman - Stone

Traditional ancient Roman Sculpture is divided into five categories - portraiture, historical relief, funerary reliefs, sarcophogai, and copies. Roman sculpture was heavily influenced by Greek examples, in particular their bronzes. Greek artists settled in Rome after Greece was conquered in 146 B.C., and many of these began making copies of Greek sculptures, which were popular in Rome. While Roman statues survive in great numbers, few names of Roman sculptors were recorded. For the most part, Roman statues were typically created to serve the needs of their patrons rather than to express the artistic attitudes of their sculptors.
