Roman sculptures are artworks created during the Roman Empire, primarily from the 1st century BCE to the 4th century CE. They often depict realistic human figures, including emperors, gods, and everyday people. Roman artists were influenced by earlier Greek sculptures, adopting their techniques while adding a focus on individualism and expression. These sculptures were typically made from materials like marble, bronze, and terracotta. They served various purposes, including decoration for public buildings, tombs, and private homes. Notable examples include the Augustus of Primaporta and the Column of Trajan, which showcase the skill and artistry of Roman craftsmen.
