Reply To: Romans Among Us

[Kaitlyn]

I can think of plenty of examples of roman art influencing modern art. I was actually just housesitting in a house that had many pillars or columns inside and out that were styled very similar to the ones seen here in the ancient roman art works, although they were only for decretive purposes not holding up the structure. There are also a great deal of official buildings that seem to have gotten their design inspiration from the ancient roman architecture, using a similar dome shape. Sports stadiums are built in a style that resembles the colosseum. Aqueducts and bridges are another example of modern art that utilizes the designs found in Ancient Rome.
