Greek and Roman Art

• The ancient Greeks created sculptural works with
  a beauty that has never been surpassed.
• The Romans, who came to dominate the Greeks, had
  great admiration for Greek sculptures.
• The Romans transported thousands of their
  sculptures to Rome to decorate their villas and
  public places.
• The Romans copied those Greek sculpture
  masterpieces and in a similar style the Romans
  also created great sculptures of their own.
