The art and architecture of Ancient Rome was incredibly varied due to the sheer size the empire became. As the Romans expanded and conquered, they embraced the art trends from all over their empire - the Romans adapted and adopted from earlier cultures like the Greeks and Etruscans, as well as others they conquered so it’s not surprising that their art was so varied. The Romans not only created different types of art, but they made it with any and all materials to show their appreciation of the past and commemoration of people and events. They produced art in the form of frescoes, paintings, and mosaics, statues, coins, seals, jewellery, glassware and pottery and their art could be used for propaganda to highlight military prowess, as well as aesthetics and fashion.
The Romans continued the legacy of the Greeks, but they were also innovators who produced a whole new range of architectural structures with creative designs out of new materials and with new construction techniques. Some of these innovations include basilicas, the triumphal arch, monumental aqueducts, and residential housing blocks or insula. The Romans used the column orders established by the Greeks, so the Doric, Ionic and Corinthian - with the Corinthian being particularly favoured by the Romans, but they did make it a bit more decorative.
The Roman architecture that has survived to this day ranged from humble living abodes to monumental and truly spectacular feats of construction. They pushed the boundaries of architectural construction and turned it into an art form. Not only did they construct buildings for practical use, but architecture became an imperial tool to demonstrate to the world that Rome was culturally superior because only she had the wealth, skills, and audacity to produce such structures. Not only that, but the innovations developed by the Romans like the basilica and amphitheatre would go on to influence all following western architecture right up until the present day.

Can you think of any buildings near you that show some influence from Roman art or architecture?

@sammoe1292 Месяц назад

Yes, I live in Andalusia 🤓

@kimberlyperrotis8962 26 дней назад

Mosaics with tesserae developed from the Ancient Greek practice of laying black and white pebble mosaics, a craft still widely practiced in modern Greece.

Near the place where I live in North Africa, a catacomb was discovered in the middle of nowhere. It was not known to where it is leading. I remember, as a kid, hearing that it leads to Al-Jam Colosseum, which is quit far, more than 25 Km. In the end its entrance was shut from the fear that kids would venture inside and not return.

@sbhatti534 2 года назад

That sounds amazing. Which city is this? Is it in Tunisia? I have been to a place near Rabat, Sale. Which was a Roman town. But before that a Phoenician settlement.

Splendid, how about doing an episode on greek art?

@carlobrotto7132 3 месяца назад

Do you mean greek sculpture, the only art field the greeks were masters since as painters they were not even ordinary ??

@Doctor_Faustus 3 месяца назад

That`s simply not true. Look at Greek pottery, mosaics or frescos! Of course there is a problem of lacking sources, especially when it comes to paintings, but look at the frescoes found in the tomb of Philip II. of Macedon and then tell me that the Greeks where horrible at painting. The Greeks laid the foundation for all art forms the Romans later adapted, which shouldn`t be surprising because the Greeks literally became Romans during the span of the Empire. Pompeian frescos would have bean impossible without Hellenic craftsmanship. The majority of artists, which were seen as craftsmans in ancient times, were in fact Hellenes. @@carlobrotto7132

Every town and city of the Americas has some architecture reminiscent of the GrecoRoman world. In Latin America, those buildings usually have a Spanish Baroque style, closer to the Iberian Renaissance. In the U.S.m there are countless gestures of homage to Athenian Greece, thanks to the well-educated founders Franklin, Adams, Jefferson and Madison. Neoclassical and Greek Revival courthouses, State houses, libraries, churches and government administration buildings were invariable GrecoRoman in form until WW II, when Modernism, the International Style and post-modern buildings became the norm. The finest portfolio of Beaux-Arts & Neoclassical architecture in public space is in San Francisco. Great examples also in Cleveland and Boston. Wash DC has best Greek Revival.

I like ur concept, but a video of ‘encyclopaedic’ information invites a more mature, professional presentation style.

Yes , Nairobi national museum copied the roman poles

@carlobrotto7132 3 месяца назад

Almost every town and city mostly of USA and partially of South America has buildings ( mainly public buildings) that step entirely the Roman ,and only the Roman architecture, they have nothing of greek out of some reminiscent style. Out of religious temples none of greek buildings is worth to be even mentioned, science of architecture was created by Romans ( particularly by the greatest architect of ancient times Vitruvius Pollio) and not by the greeks that were crappy builders and even worse engineers ! The Romans wrote the rules & settlements of architecture that are valid and taught still today, the greeks have nothing to do with it !! The entire Washington DC was tought, planned, designed and built as feature of Rome upon Roman architecture issues ( Capitol Hill = Capitolium , Pennsylvania Avenue = Forum Imperialis , etc...). The capitol city of the US is a revival of Rome and Roman Empire, not even 1% of ancient Athens.

@kimberlyperrotis8962 26 дней назад

Ancient Roman culture was nearly a wholesale copying of that of the Greeks. It’s politically correct to emphasize the Etruscan contribution, but it’s de minimus compared to that of the Greeks.

The Coliseum was constructed by slaves, anyone wanna guess their ethnicity?

@SalvatoreEscoti 5 месяцев назад

Roman slavery was NOT based on Ethniticy!!!!

@itsbrothersam 5 месяцев назад

I don't dispute that. Just saying, this one was of one particular group.

@yuordreams 4 месяца назад

@@itsbrothersam Nearly every people in the world has participated in the slave trade and in colonialism in some capacity. The point is to be more civil with every generation, not less.

@carlobrotto7132 3 месяца назад

False : Coliseum was built by specialized personnel who needed to have the particular know-how and work abilities required for such an extraordinary masterpiece of architecture. The slaves could have not worked at it due to their lacks in constructions job.
