Many still remain in places like Pompeii, Rome, and in museums. A great deal of mosaics also exist. In Sicily there is a 2000 year old villa where all of the floors are in mosaics. They are wonderful to see. Pompeii still has paintings on the walls of villas and rooms. The colors are still as vivid as they were the day in 79AD when they were buried. Closer to home the J.Paul Getty Villa in CA also has roman art on view. Some are funeral poses that were on tombs ( this was a common practice to paint the picture of the person or people on or around the burial/tomb site). I have seen many of these in many places and museums and they truly give a sense of the people.
