1. Ancient Roman Architecture adopted certain aspects of Ancient Greek architecture, creating a new architectural style.
2. The Romans were indebted to their Etruscan neighbors and forefathers who supplied them with a wealth of knowledge essential for future architectural solutions, such as hydraulics in the construction of arches.
3. Later they absorbed Greek and Phoenician influenced, apparent in many aspects closely related to architecture; for example, this can be seen in the introduction and used of the Triclinium in Roman villas as a place and manner of dinning.
4. Roman architecture flourished throughout the Empire during the Pax Romana.
5. Factors such as wealth and high population densities in cities forced the ancient Romans to discover new architectural solutions of their own.
6. Roman art refers to the visual arts made in Ancient Rome and in the territories of the Roman Empire.
7. Roman art includes architecture, painting, sculpting and mosaic work.
8. Luxury objects in metal-work, gem engraving, ivory carvings, and glass, are sometimes considered in modern terms to be minor forms of Roman art, although this would not necessarily have been the case for contemporaries.
9. Sculpting was perhaps considering as the highest form of art by Romans, but figure painting was also very highly regarded.
10. The two forms have had very contrasting rates of survival, with a very large body of sculpture surviving from about the 1st century BC onwards, though very little from before, but very little painting at all remains, and probably nothing that contemporary would have considered to be of the highest quality.
