The Romans made more naturalistic artworks than any previous group of people. The following artwork by a Pompeian painter illustrates this naturalism.
They often used art as propaganda, to glorify their empire and make them look superior and create fear in their enemies.
The following is a Statue showing Augustus of Primaporta.
Not only did the Romans make advancements in statues they also improved architecture were the first people to develop the arch and dome.
