Sculptors.
People who build statues are usually sculptors
The Romans' created statues that were looked as though they were real. They also depicted every flaw of the person being sculpted to make it more lifelike. People would be able to "read" the statues and remember what the person did or be made aware of some honor or quality of the person. More modern sculptors have taken similar approaches when designing statues. This is done to make the statues as realistic looking as possible.
The Greek statues were meant to look perfect. The Roman copied the Greek art and many other stuffs. But some of the things the Roman copied were different. Their statues were not meant to look perfect. They included every single features, unlike the Greeks. These are the reason why the Roman and Greek statues differ
The functions of sculpture in ancient Rome were the same as those in the Greek tradition. Statues were the a bit like an equivalent of paintings because both the Greeks and Romans only had fresco paintings. Originally Roman sculpture was portraiture (busts). Then they adopted Greek sculpture. The best sculptors were Greek. Most Roman sculptors made replica of the 'mass' market. Some Roman statues were about Greek myths.
