The Romans made frescoes, a type of mural painting, usually on the walls of wealthier houses. Mosaics were on the floors of wealthier houses and of public buildings. In their earlier days Romans produced the best portraiture sculpture (busts) in history. Later, they made beautiful full-bodied bronze, marble and alabaster statues in the Hellenistic style. They made impressive reliefs for altars, triumphal arches and triumphal columns. The Romans also had very good jewellery making, coral working, cameos and silverware. They made decorative architectural terracottas and pottery which sometimes had designs on them. They also made decorative metal plates which they called phalerae.
In architecture (if you include it as art), they created great buildings, such as the amphitheatres, the theatres, the basilicas (large public buildings) and the Pantheon The Romans effected an architectural revolution by being the first to make large-scale use of the arch, the vault and concrete. This enabled them to go beyond the post-and-lintel architectural methods of the Greeks. They used columns to build temples and porticoes. For these, they used the three Greek orders (styles) of making columns (Doric, Ionic and Corinthian) and introduced composite orders, which combined elements of two orders.

Why did napoleon support art that was inspired by classical Roman art?
Napoleon supported the art inspired by Ancient Rome because it was revered as the perfection of art. The Romans had managed to create a level of art that was revered by everyone. Although it was, as you can call it, both ancient and not French, it was still a model to work with. As a matter of fact Ancient Rome also has an impact of art today. Although many claim they are basing their art on the Renaissance- that is not accurate. The Renaissance was 100% inspired by Ancient Rome. You will also notice that many architectural buildings are inspired by Rome- for example, the White House.
