Typical design works of ancient Rome

The characteristics of Roman art: Romans are different from Greeks, they are more realistic, concerned about reality and like concrete and practical things; Greeks value ideals, and art likes abstract and generalized ideas.

Rome's greatest achievements are architecture, public works, highways, bridges, water conservancy and civil engineering. Because of its vast territory, the spirit of Roman art was more than that of China during the Han Dynasty (Buddhism was introduced to China in the first century), and Christianity struggled with Greek and Roman culture in the first to fourth centuries. Pay attention to practicality, similar to China culture, and most of them can be related to life.

build

In the second century BC, the Romans had accumulated experience in building arches and vaults, and began to use cement to make concrete, so they could build buildings of various shapes and volumes, so architecture was the greatest achievement in Roman art.

Temple: In the second century BC, gables and pillars were the same as those in Greece, but the foundation became higher, and they were often used as warehouses for trophies (practical value). The circular building becomes bigger because the material is "concrete" and the outside is covered with marble. The most representative temple is the Pantheon (A.D. 1 18- 125).
