Reply To: Romans Among Us

[Kaitlyn]

csayreswoody, I definitely agree with your statement about how popular it is to copy roman art today, and it definitely has a place in many museums and is probably one of the most visited places specifically for viewing ancient artworks. I think an important part of the roman influence is also that many pieces from the ancient roman time period are still standing today, showing that they are well built strong structures. I have to wonder if the roman use of marble is what influenced the use of marble today, after all a lot of houses use marble countertops, and it is used in many other ways in a home.
