Roman Art: Democratizing Masterpieces for All "The Romans: Antiquity's Ultimate Transformative Culture" by Mark Cartwright, Now Available  Link in Bio! Meet Antiquity's Ultimate Transformative Culture  The Romans: Antiquity's Ultimate Transformative Culture explores the daily realities of life within the vast Roman Empire across nine distinct chapters. Driven by a single, complex question—What did it mean to be a Roman?—this work uncovers a rich tapestry of answers. Join us as we dive into the intimate details of Roman society: their diets and wardrobes, their marriage customs, and the bustling architecture of their towns. We will explore their religious rituals, their systems of governance, and the grand spectacles designed to entertain and distract the masses. Beyond the citizens themselves, we will examine the lives of non-Romans within the empire and discover how the Romans perceived their own identity. Along the journey, you will encounter Rome’s most enduring legacies, from mighty catapults and concrete domes to vast road networks, evocative portraiture, and pioneering medical advances. The Greeks were interested in the perfection of the human form basically and trying to capture that in stone and whatever whereas the Romans kind of moved away from that. I think they democratized art  Art in other cultures is often for the elite and where would you see art. You probably you would see it in a public place a temple perhaps a palace something like that. A public square where there's a market. Something you didn't have it in the home. But that's what the Romans did.  #roman #art #lifestyle #greek #ancient #history #worldhistory
