Roman Art The Beginning of the Roman Republic the Romans started creating statues that actually look like a person. Romans were way more realistic than the Greeks with their statues. The Greeks tried to make statues to illustrate the “ideal” person. The Romans believed that having a good picture of the person then it keeps its ghost happy.

The paintings were painted on a special prepared wall with three layers of special coating. The Romans also painted canvas. Romans often painted fighting scenes. These paintings were placed in churches or in public buildings. Romans also painted mythological scenes like, heroic deeds of Hercules, Achilles and Theseus. Mosaics were also popular. Mosaics were made by small pieces of tile that fit together just like a puzzle.

The Britons, Spanish, Carthaginians, Phoenicans mixed their art styles to make different styles throughout the Mediterranean area. Around 200 ad the German was first seen in Roman art. At this time the arts show people suffering like, having their head ripped out or their stomachs ripped out.
