While looking through the Roman art pieces, I noticed that a lot of these pieces portrayed a sense of power, justice, and fanciness. For example, when looking at the Augustus of Primaporta, you see a tall, strong man with a nice robe and what looks like armor. These pieces have a lot in common with characters in the videogames of today and movies. Entertainment companies use characters like these in order to attract people to watch their movie or play their certain game. For example, movies like Iron man, thor, captain America and videogames like call of duty, battlefield, and Halo. each one with distinctive characters like Augustus.
