Discussion: Differences Between Greek and Roman Art and Architecture
The Romans deeply admired Greek art and Roman works SEEM very similar to Greek examples. Can you determine what is different, and distinctively Roman?
Cite at least four examples of where the Romans displayed originality in art and architecture and note what characteristics are Roman as opposed to Greek. Try to explain what factors were present in their culture to foster such originality. Use comparison if it helps.
One of your examples should be the Pantheon.
