The Statue of Liberty was made in the Neoclassical style. This style was modelled on Roman sculpture and Roman architecture.
The functions of sculpture in ancient Rome were the same as those in the Greek tradition. Statues were the a bit like an equivalent of paintings because both the Greeks and Romans only had fresco paintings. Originally Roman sculpture was portraiture (busts). Then they adopted Greek sculpture. The best sculptors were Greek. Most Roman sculptors made replica of the 'mass' market. Some Roman statues were about Greek myths.
Roman sculpture did not change much in the later empire. The major changed occurred in the early empire, when it shifted to the realistic portraiture sculpture (busts) to idealised full body sculptures modelled on the Hellenistic sculpture of the Greeks.
Initially sarcophagus were made of limestone. And they thought it helped in decomposing the flesh. Before great pyramids were made sarcophagus was used.
