The Romans adopted Greek sculpture of the Hellenistic period.
Greek sculpture influenced the Romans from the 2nd century BC. Prominent 1st century BC and 1st century AD Romans such as Cicero and Pliny the Elder greatly admired the innovative work of classical Greek sculpture artists, such as Polykleitos. However, the Romans did not produce much sculpture based on the classical Greek model. Their sculpture was predominantly portraiture (see below) until , from the 1st century AD, the Romans adopted Hellenistic sculpture, which took sculpture to a different level, as a model for their own sculpture. Prior to the influence of Greek sculpture, Roman sculpture was portraiture sculpture (busts). Their portraiture sculpture is regarded as the best sculpture of this kind ever produced.
The Romans used the bust as the type of portrait sculpture of everyone. Full length statues were generally reserved for the imperial family and the gods.The Romans used the bust as the type of portrait sculpture of everyone.

A couple accomplishments that the Romans had made in art are mosaics and realism in sculpture.
Grekk sculptors sought perfect beauty. Romans wanted a perfect likeness.
The Romans modelled their statues on those of the Greeks. Some statues were replicas of Greek originals. However, they often blended a variety of traditions The Romans liked to blend artistic traditions from Italy and the rest of the empire.
the type of sculpture adopted from the greeks is called realistic. U R Welcome!
The ratio of size for heroic sculpture typically adheres to a scale that emphasizes the figure's grandeur and importance, often using a ratio of 1:1.5 or larger. This means that the sculpture may be 1.5 times larger than the actual human size, creating a more imposing and dramatic presence. This proportion helps convey strength, power, and significance, making the figure appear larger than life. Such ratios are commonly used in classical and neoclassical art to enhance the heroic qualities of the subject.

They made easel paintings (Paintings on wood panel), lots of wall paintings, sculpture (copies of Greek sculpture and original portrait sculpture), beautiful mosaics for walls and floors.
The Romans crated marble sculptures the same way that a sculpture is created today, by the chip and file method. Many of the same tools are also used today, although present day sculptors have power tools which the Romans did not have.The Romans crated marble sculptures the same way that a sculpture is created today, by the chip and file method.
