The history of Roman art begins in the dim mists of semi-historical time when Rome was founded and continues through the period of expansion under the Republic into the Empire and the establishment of an official art designed to express the new and increasingly absolutist order of the Roman government. The influence of Roman art continues long after the decline of the Empire in the West and it has been responsible for many subsequent artistic revivals.
