As I delve into the world of Roman art, I find myself captivated by its rich history and profound influence on subsequent artistic movements. Emerging from the confluence of various cultures, Roman art is a testament to the empire’s vast reach and its ability to assimilate and innovate. Spanning several centuries, from the founding of Rome in 753 BCE to the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 CE, this artistic tradition reflects not only the aesthetic values of its time but also the social, political, and cultural dynamics that shaped the Roman world.
