In the Republican period the Romans produced the best portrait sculpture (busts) there has ever been. It was a strictly Roman art and it was very realistic. In the fist and second centuries AD they produced sublime and accurate replicas of Greek sculptures by great Greek sculptors. Some of these are displayed at the Vatican Museums.

Which describes a greek influence on roman art?

Greek influence on Roman art is primarily evident in the adoption of classical ideals of beauty, proportion, and harmony. Romans admired Greek sculpture and architecture, often replicating and adapting these styles in their own works, such as using columns and friezes inspired by Greek temples. Additionally, Roman artists incorporated Greek themes and myths into their sculptures and frescoes, blending them with local traditions to create a unique artistic identity. This fusion not only enriched Roman art but also helped preserve Greek artistic heritage.

How were Romans artists influenced by the Greeks?

The main Greek influence on Roman art was in sculpture. During the period of the Roman Republic, Roman sculpture was portraiture sculpture (busts). The establishment of rule by emperors saw the introduction of full body statues in the Hellenistic style of the Greeks. Due to the perfection of Greek sculpture the Romans did not try to imitate their sculpture. They either hired Greek sculptors or made reproductions of statues by great Greek sculptors. The Romans adopted the three Greek orders (styles) for making columns: Doric Ionic and Corinthian. They also introduced the Composite order, which mixed elements of two of the mentioned orders. They used columns to build porticoes and temples. Most of the latter were built in the Greek style. Some of the later temples, instead, were circular and had a dome and were a Roman invention. For the rest, Roman architecture was Roman. The Romans effected what historians have called the Roman architectural revolution which transformed ancient architecture by making large scale use of concrete, the arch and the vaulted arch (or vault). The Romans learnt mosaic making form the Greeks and most recorded names of Roman mosaic workers are Greek. Sometimes Roman mosaics and frescoes depicted scenes from Greek myths.

How can you tell a Roman temple apart from a Greek temple?

Oh, dude, it's like telling apart a taco from a burrito! Roman temples are usually more grand and have a front porch with columns on all sides, while Greek temples have columns only in the front. So, if you see columns all around, you're probably looking at a Roman temple. But hey, as long as they both have a spot to praise some ancient gods, who really cares, right?
