The themes of Roman statues were often scenes from myths or depictions of gods and reflected Roman religion and mythologies. Statues of emperors reflected the system of rule. Triumphal arches and columns celebrated victories by emperors and had scenes of the victorious battles. They reflected the system of rule by emperors, the role of emperors as military leaders and the importance of military success to the Romans.
Frescoes and mosaics sometimes also depicted scenes of daily lives. There is a famous scene of a woman exercising at the baths which shows one of the exercises they performed and what they wore at the baths (a sort of bikini).
Augustus initiated imperial art, a type of art which acted as Propaganda for rule by an emperor, glorified and mystified the person of the emperor and put him at the centre of the socio-political system.
During the republican period there was a type of art which has been called plebeian art. It showed the economic activities of ordinary Romans and reflected the culture and ethos of the plebeians (the commoners).
These are but a few examples.
The Romans adopted Greek sculpture of the Hellenistic period.

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.

The Briar Rose sculpture in Brierley Hill was created by artist Richard Huws. Unveiled in 1997, it was commissioned as part of the regeneration of the area and represents the local heritage and culture. The sculpture is crafted from steel and is designed to reflect the themes of growth and community.
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.
They reflect the importance of religion and humans
