Roman art (200 b.Chr. - 323 AD)
Art made in Ancient Rome and Roman Empire. Roman art is next to Etruscan, native Italic, and even Egyptian visual culture heavily based on Greek art. Stylistic eclecticism and practical application are the hallmarks of much Roman art.Since Rome's fall, Roman civilization has been the source of repeated cultural revivals great and small, down through the centuries:in the era of Charlemagne; in the High Middle Ages; in the Italian Renaissance; in the northern humanist movement of the sixteenth
century; and in the Neoclassical movements of more recent times. The literature, art, and monuments crafted by the Romans have in spired countless artists and thinkers.510-27 B.C.: Republican Art
Roman art starts with the beginning of the Roman Republic. Before that the Romans copied the art of the Etruscans. About 200 B.C. they conquered the Greeks and began copying their art style. The Romans were far more realistic than the Greeks with their statues. While the Greeks tried to build statues to illustrate the "ideal" person, the Romans believed that having a good image of somebody's face kept its ghost happy.27 B.C.- 235 A.D.: Early Roman Empire Art - Augustan (27 B.C.-14 A.D.), Julio-Claudian (14-68), Flavian (69-96), Trajanic (98-117), Hadrianic (117-138), Antonine (138-192) and Severin (193-235)
The art of the first and second centuries continued the traditions of portraiture and Greek imitations although they added more use of art as propaganda to show what the emperors wanted people to know or to think.As the Roman Empire became larger the Britons, Spanish, Carthaginians, Phoenicians, etc. mixed their art styles with the Romans styles to form many different styles throughout the Mediterranean area.235 - 476: Late Roman Empire/Late Antique Art

Christianity influence began to show up in Roman art. Less blood with the eyes looking towards heaven. The body became less important and had less correct proportions.
