Subjects
History of ancient art, Roman art, Roman Empire, 30 B.C.-A.D. 476
Abstract

Due to the vast geography of the Roman Empire, Roman art can be difficult to define precisely, but the genre broadly includes sculptures, wall paintings, and mosaics depicting mythological, historical, and religious themes as well as everyday life. The first Roman art dates to about 509 BCE, Throughout history, works of Roman art have sprung from vastly different trends and tastes, typically based on location within the empire. Setting Roman art apart as a genre are its diversity, eclectic nature, vast production, and widespread availability. The body of work that constitutes Roman art encompasses an array of media, including seal-cutting, coins, jewelry, glassware, pottery, frescoes, statues, and monuments. Landscapes, townscapes, and seascapes were prevalent, with realism generating great interest and representing the ideal. In the anthology of Roman artwork, busts of important ancestors and commissioned statues of historical leaders were especially popular.
