Best Answer

The Roman aristocrats loved art. During the Roman Republic the aristocrats were expected to finance works to embellish the city. With rule by emperors, this role was taken over by the emperor in the city of Rome. However, in the other Roman towns, the local aristocrats continued to play this role. This lead to a fine appreciation of arts among these people and to completion over which individual was the most generous patron of the arts and the most knowledgeable one about art. The emperors became the main patrons of art, which they used to glorify their rule

Roman noblemen adored art and were eager to commission monumental buildings and works of art. Art, the commissioning of works of art and the collecting of works of art was one of the favoured subject between noblemen. Art was important to them not only because they loved it, but also it could be used for self aggrandisement by boasting about the commissioning of art adorned public spaces, the building of grand private palaces or by having statues of yourself made. As a result top artists were revered. More average artist were not seen as valuable.
