Ancient Greek and Roman artifacts are, well, old. When some things become old, they become brittle and fragile, breaking more easily. As well, external factors like sunlight, erosion, water, and wind can effect artifacts. It also depends on where the artifacts are from- if they were from the city of Pompeii, for example, they could have been physically broken by rock, buried by the buildings they were in, or shattered by the tremors of Mount Vesuvius.
