Greek Architecture and Art are Similar to the Romans

Introduction

Ancient Rome had the sense that the term "classical" relates to a quality character and a classic work of art was a model worthy of imitation. However, classical art has its origins in ancient Greece, a civilization that had been a step forward in the thought and the idea of ??rationality. Roman art, of course referring to the art of architecture, has independent and innovative features compared to the Greek architecture. Roman architecture is more complex, because the Greek architecture conforms to a structure as simple as the lintel or architrave; the Roman created vaulted spaces and cupolas. Romans also introduced new materials, new techniques, different buildings and monuments that were not to be seen in the Greek architecture.

Greek art, which looks like a selfless worship rendered to the abstract ideas of harmony and beauty. In the Roman sense, the architecture becomes the body of a powerful authority, for which the construction of public buildings, is a means of domination. The Romans built to assimilate under the nations, yielding to the customs of slavery. Greek architecture is summarized in the temple in the Roman baths and amphitheatres. DiscussionGreek architecture shows real obsession with technical perfection and the perfect finish.
