Roman art is divided into two major periods: art of the Roman Republic and art of the Roman Empire. At first, Roman art was mainly affected by its Etruscan past. Then, as Rome expanded, Romans were exposed to many varying forms of art. As a result, a different form of building, sculpting, and painting emerged. As the Roman civilization grew, they encountered many different artistic cultures, and so Roman art also varied by what region of Rome you were in. Roman art was not just the art of the upper class. It was also the art of the business men, freedmen, slaves, and more. Although much Roman art has survived, not many names of Roman artists are known.
The picture is an example to Roman art. This picture depicts Zeus on his throne.
